Off to Japan
Tomorrow we leave for the trip of a lifetime--we will be heading out to Sendai Japan, spending a few days in Tokyo and some other parts too. We will miss you (those of you we actually know) and I just wanted to let you know that you can track our progress here, as we will be attempting to journal and post photos as we go.
If you would be able to, please pray for wisdom as we finalize our packing tonight, pray for our safety in the travel, that God would protect us from getting sick, for God's provision for Josh with food & migraines, for sleep, and a minimal adjustment to the time difference. (It is 14 hours different, I believe). Please especially pray for the children.
And please pray for the teaching and ministry of the gospel. Josh, Sono, and I have all prepared words of encouragement to share with the Japanese believers there, and I am confident that we will be able to bring words that will build their faith by sharing some of the helpful teaching on roles, parenting, and the gospel that have so benefitted us at CLC.
What a wonderful opportunity we have to see God working in another part of the world. We are so excited!
Thanks,
Shannon

Bad Guy Caught With a Mac: This is a great story. A girl's Apple laptop gets stolen but she uses a remote access program to control it and takes a picture of the thief as the doofus sits in front of the stolen computer. "Smile! You're getting your mug shot taken!" Using the picture, the police nab the bad guy. Moral of the story? Don't mess with a high-tech girl's Mac.
New Word Alive's Top 10: The recent New Word Alive conference showed a video top-ten list of books for students. My book Sex is Not the Problem made the list. It's pretty funny. I just wish mine could have made it in the wok.

Church?
"I am reading Joshua Harris book Stop Dating the Church...love it. He talks about the people who believe they can be Christians and never go to church. I have heard this argument many times. They don't believe you have to fellowship..." (Read full post here.)
Jargon Meets Advice
"Boy Meets Girl: I read part of this back when I bought it 7-ish years ago. If you get past the jargon-y parts it has some solid advice." (Read full post here.)
A Brief Review
"I think this book [Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is)] would appeal to both teenagers and parents, although I would give the parents the book first to read. This is not explicit in its language but it does tackle the difficult questions." (Read full post here.)
