I am headed out on the annual youth mission trip in 8 hours. In these 8 hours I need to do some major sleeping. All is packed. Rental van in driveway. I think FCC is prepped for the Sunday without me. Kids are excited. Sponsors are wonderful.
13 of us (10 youth, 2 adults) headed to Springfield MO for a week of work, fun, and spirit time.
Pray for us. Pray for me... I think I have gotten a cold in the last 48 hours. ugh...
All is good. When I think back on all the "night before mission trip"s over the years it is amazing how I have gotten better at this. AND amazing how nothing changes. ie: 12:26 am... and still drying clothes... :)

the text behind the blog title...
The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands." So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
--Exodus 17:8-16

Maybe if you didn't pack 20 outfits, you could condense the clothes drying a bit. I'm just sayin'...
