Praise the Lord for love because without it...I don't know where I'd be. Let me just say that I probably wouldn't be sane.

As most of you, if not all, know that I sent out a Bible Study. I plan on contiuing on doing so. Well, as I was going through my address book looking at names of people that the Lord wanted me to send it to I came across my fiancee's name, obviously. Well, believe it or not, I was real hesitant to send it to her because I know that she tears me apart sometimes when it comes to sharing the gospel. We are like apples and oranges in some areas of the Bible. Let me tell you... that scares me. I believe that a married couple should be in an agreement with each other on the Biblical Doctrine. They should be sound in it. Know what I mean? It just doesn't seem like we are.

Anyway, she sent me an e-mail about the one I sent out and I felt pretty bad. I actually started questioning whether I should even send anymore e-mails out. Please pray for us and especially for me. I guess I take things to heart a lot of times. Is that wrong? I don't know.

Well, I got to go. Pray that my spirit may be made anew. Thanks. God bless!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Matt. 10: 28 "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

Ok. I know that it's been a while since I've actually put anything in here. I've been pretty busy. We pulled into Otaru, Japan on the 8th for the snow and ice festival. That was awesome!!! Don't worry...I got plenty of pics :). But before I could have fun I had to do some work. I stayed pretty much busy the entire week before getting prepared for inspections and stuff. We pull out of Otaru tomorrow. I really don't want to because all this week is CART week. In other words, this is the week that I've been preparing for since last week. This is the hoochie-mama of them all. This is when the entire ship, from top to bottom, gets inspected. If we fail...let's just pray that we don't. It wouldn't be good. Please pray that all goes well.

Kendra and I got to talk a WHOLE lot this weekend!! I was so excited!!!! For those of you who have been in love before or are in love now, knows what it's like to yearn to hear your loved ones voice. I always get excited when I call and she answers in her sweet loving voice, "Hello." I know that it may sound dorky but believe me, every moment counts. I love her so much!!!! Thank you, Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time is drawing nearer to the wedding. "If there is anyone who thinks that these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." That kind of scares me. It would not surprise me that someone would actually jump up and say something. What is the whole point of that line anyway? Does anyone know? If you do, please let me know. Thanks. Anyway!!!! People always ask, "You sure you want to get married? You're going to be spending the rest of your life with one women. That's forever." Little do they know that forever started 3 years and 2 months ago. I love you, Kendra.

I would like to thank all those people who are praying for me. The Lord is moving SOOOOOOO much over here. The ministry has grown tremendously over the past year. It is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you, Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's getting late and I have a few things to do before I hit the rack. God bless!!!!!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Love is far more than an emotion, it is a passion within your soul. "God is Love"
