Happy birthday tommorow America!! This will  be my last  blog for a while. I am going on a mission trip with our church to the Czech Republic. It was a little bit random that we were able to go.....I never thought I'd be able to go overseas twice in one year, but God has worked out the details (money, vacation time etc). I am very excited. We will have a couple days to explore Prague and it is supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Our church supports a missionary there who, as an outreach to the community, helps run an English camp. We will helping her with this as families come and seek to improve their conversational english. I must admit that compared to some trips I've been on that this one sounds pretty easy. But I have really been stirred to pray more and more as I realize that any time that you seek to represent the Lord, that you are indeed going into 'enemy territory'. So, I would appreciate your prayers to prepare us to witness for the Lord in whatever way He sees fit, that hearts would be prepared and that we would be obedient to participate in any miricle opportunities that He sets up for us! I may be able to get online periodically over there, so I'll keep you posted.

The book of Issaiah is a treasure chest- enjoy and by all means discuss it on the board.
