HEY HEY HEY! I mean.. uh... Ni-hau!

Left His seamless robe behind
Woke up in a stable and cried
Lived and died and rose again
Savior for a guilty land

It's a story like a children's tune
It's grown familiar as the moon
So now I ride my camel high
I'm aiming for the needle's eye

I chased the wind, but I chased in vain
I chased the earth, it would not sustain

There's only One who never fails

To beckon the morning light
There's only One who set loose the gales
And ties the trees down tight
When all around my soul gives way
He is all my hope and stay
There's only One, only One Holy One

Lord, You are my Prince of Peace
But this war brings me to my knees
See, there's a table You've prepared
And all my enemies are there
But where my Shepherd leads
Where else can I go?
Who else fills my cup 'til it overflows?

There's only One who never fails
To beckon the morning light
There's only One who set loose the gales
And ties the trees down tight
To the Solid Rock I fly
Though He bids me come and die
There's only One, only One Holy One

This is a song written by Caedmon's Call. Their newest cd is called 'Share the Well' and it is amazing. It was recorded in India and In Ecuador. It's an amazing album. In many of the songs it speaks of stories of the people. Others such as this one direct praise to God. If you like different music, give it a go. You can check out the more complete story on their website. :)

How you guys doing? I've been learning about how to teach english... most know it we're suspecting.. .but they don't understand how to speak it correctly... Some may know it very little. So our information is still quite vague. I'm hoping to have a guitar to play in China, whether it be theirs or mine. We'll see what happens. Anticipation is building as I am finishing sending my last piece of needed ID away to be finished tommorow. It's a little more than a month and a week. Time is ticking.
The temperature there is rising as it is here... and will continue to build until we arrive. Currently they're getting about 33 degrees in the day and 21 at night with about 70-80 percent humidity. We're expecting it will be at least another 5-10 degrees more by the time we get there. 'Waterfall' Persperation is expected from most of us. As such we'll have to keep many large jugs of water on hand if we plan to survive... hehe...

I still don't know if there will be, or I will be able to be on a team going to rural...rural Wuhan in the mountains. If I had the opportunity, I would be glad to take it. In any case, RURAL Wuhan is not in fact rural at all by our standards. In PA, we might have... meh.... hundreds living in rural areas around here. Farmers mostly. In anycase, the equivilent there is over a million people. Check this out in digit form!

PA (innercity- 35,000)
Rural - 1,000 (if we're lucky)
Wuhan (innercity - 7,000,000+)
Rural - 1,000,000

That is crazy.... heh.... Pray for us... we're going to be needing all we can get. In anycase, I think I've mastered the chopstick thing. Unfortuately, I don't believe I've mastered the cuisine they might posess. heh.. that'll be fun :)
