Happy New Year 2!

  I know it's only been 3 days but, this is officially the first blog of 2010!  All I know is, God is good, al the time!  I've added some VERY important prayer requests at the Prayer Warrior's section.  Please life Luke and Bernerd up!  Big needs there.

   I'm compiling the info gathered from the Worldview Survey pretty shortly.  If you've NOT taken it and are interested, please go HERE to take it.  I appreciate this a lot.

  My buddy in Georgia sent me this picture from the Buford speaking.  That was really an encouraging time.  It's hard to believe that this year has gone by already.  I've been reflecting on a lot of things over the past couple of days.  Just looking back at what's happened over this last year is amazing.

  Busy week!  Last Friday I got to show my friend around the museum, I'll let you figure out who that is.  Had a great time, these are some real good folks.  He's been gracious enough to even shoot an endorsement for seminars that I do.

Sorry, no pictures this time.  I, got back from New Jersey on Tuesday, great ministry as usual.  The pastor who brought me out heard me speak in the Creation Museum a year ago and set up the event that same day.  He's a good man who's very active in the community.  Tommy Mitchell, who also speaks at Answers in Genesis, is going to be in that area next year doing a family camp.

  Well, we made it home.  I've got to be honest and say it's been a challenge to get back into rhythm though.  Yokohama and Sapporo went 'crazy good'!  I really enjoyed Sapporo.  It was my second time there.  Masami and I went there for our honeymoon 27 years ago!  Wow, I cannot believe it's been that long.

Went to a Kimono museum today!  Amazing what they do there.  All of the pictures that you see on the Kimono are 'hand painted'.  It's an unbelievable process.  I just had to try one on.  Blessings!

  I leave the Philippines with mixed emotions!  The Filipino's have got to be one of the kindest people that I've ever met.  I was welcomed every place that I went, even by those that disagreed with our position on the Bible!

  Freedom isn't free!  We've all heard these words and to be honest, I've taken it for granted.  My hosts took me to the American Memorial Cemetary.  It is a huge place with thousands of crosses representing those who gave their lives to free the nation of the Philippines.  Beautiful but, sad!
