well i've been living out of a backpack for the last two weeks now.
or at least it feels that way.
since i've been back from mexico i spent the last week trying to prioritize my to-do list while this week's focus is the execution and follow through of said to-do list.
things are rolling well but deadlines seem to be creeping up on me. establishing the coffee shop in the dungeon has been an encouraging process so far. although slow going at times the church staff has been so supportive. i still can't believe all this is actually happening.

preparing for re-entry...
i'm staring at this blog and i am thinking that its in desperate need of a face lift. my links are idle, some of my blog'em buddies have come and gone, the tunes i'm spinning have spun out of tune. lets face it, this blog is sort of boring.
but i'm back now after spending a week in mexico and i'm ready to roll with summer. for a good summary on our mission trip check out brent's blog. but let me say that even though this was my fifth trip to mexico it never gets old. a group of us had some extra time one day so we took the opportunity to visit the homes and families we built the houses for last year. i couldn't believe it but after a year had gone by we were greeted with hugs and smiles from people who hadn't forgotten us. they showed us the improvements they made on the houses and their expressions spoke volumes of the hope we helped build. one family had added onto their house and was now running a small store out of the front half. the reality of our work sank in and i'm thankful that God broke the monotony and refreshed my perspective once again of why we go and build houses in mexico.
