Good gracious, it has been a long time since I posted on here. I don't know quite what to say, except...I missed me? Well, I guess I'll just have to catch you all up on the current news.

For those of you who weren't aware of it, I am back in West Virginia this year. (Wait, does the post below this one mention that?) Anyway, I'm traveling as an Admissions Representative for the college that I graduated from (Appalachian Bible College - or ABC for you younger folks). Basically, I sit at my desk and make a bunch of phone calls to people all around America. Then, because talking on the phone isn't quite as fun as talking in person, I drive to wherever those people are and talk to them again in a public setting. It's a lot of fun for a few reasons - first, I get to meet people, and people are my passion. Second, I get to travel around the country with all of my expenses taken care of. Third, I have the privilege to tell people about a ministry that God has used in my life, a ministry that I firmly believe in.

Let me condense a typical day for you.
6:30 AM - Wake up; get showered and dressed; check my directions and hop in the van for a drive.
7:45 AM - Arrive at destination (assuming it's a teacher's convention or something of the like); set up display and literature.
8:00 AM - Talk to people (I love this part)
9:00 AM - Talk to more people.
10:00 AM - Talk to more people.
11:00 AM - You get the point.
When my day is through, I usually end up driving for a while to the town where the next morning's meeting will be held. There I'll spend the night either in a hotel or with friends. And that is 12 hours squeezed into about two paragraphs. Not quite that simple when you live it out, but oh well...

Oh, hey, guess what. No, I said guess. Of course I'm not just going to tell you.

Okay, fine, here goes...I'll be honest, I can't think of a thing to type. Sorry, my brain is fried. I just spent the day planning my trip to the great western state of Colorado. It's killer I know, but someone has to do it. Just like someone had to sacrifice to spend time at conventions in Myrtle Beach and Orlando. Serving the Lord is funny like that - you think it's gonna be all hard work and no play, but sometimes, the Lord gives you a time and a place to relax and meditate on Him and His Word - and there's nothing like the beach to do that, especially at sunset.

Anyway, that's my blurt for the evening. Nothing formal or organized, just whatever random thoughts I could muster.

More later,
