July 15 2012


In the 21st century we have so many technological advances to be thankful for.
- Today a friend of mine here in Salzburg was able to watch a church service taking place LIVE via the internet from her home country of Nigeria.
- I am currently sitting on a train from Salzburg to Vienna and have wireless internet with which I am writing a long-awaited blog post.
- I can call numerous family members directly from Skype to the Smart Phones and see them wherever they are.

Granted technology doesn't always work in our favor with hackers, slow connections, power outages or tedious updates to install. But in general I'd say it is a good thing.

The picture above alludes to the fact that I am on a train right now. I am headed further east of Vienna to the country where this photo was taken already 3 years ago. Kinga is the little girl in the photo and I met her when I was in Romania teaching English during February 2009. She was absolutely adorable and I have no doubt that she still is. Unfortunately I haven't had an opportunity to return to Romania until now.

For the next two weeks I will be working at Roma (gypsy) Children's camps with friends from America ... Katie (http://valleysfillfirst.blogspot.co.at/2012/07/first-couple-of-days.html) and Bonnie (http://teleiosministry.blogspot.co.at/2012/07/catching-up.html).

I have been on the go quite a bit lately but I hope to return to blog posting in the coming weeks.
