Tuesday night
The bug that seemed to have the best of me Sunday night and Monday has gone and health is just about back to normal. Praise God!
One of my coworkers, Phil, invited me to join him and his family for dinner at his "favorite chinese" restaurant here in town. We had a nice time fellowshipping and talking about the trip coming up. I know I can count on his prayers during this trip. Thanks for your support, Phil!!
I spent some time the last couple of days "ripping" tracks from some of my favorite music cd's to mp3 format. I'll be able to play these on a very inexpensive mp3 player I bought. Its not an iPod but it works for me. Hopefully, this will provide some good Christian worship music for the long trip. This technology is very cool, allowing you to put a lot of music on a very little device that you can put in your pocket or hang around your neck. Its great for things like commuting or walking the dog. I don't do much commuting anymore, since I work at home, but I do a fair share of walking the dog. And I thought it was cool when you could burn your own mp3 cd's. I think portable cd players are on their way out. Coming soon; video on iPod. I can only ask, why?
One thing I did discover about mp3's on the internet, you can't get any for free. At least ones by known artists. Well, you may get a few free ones up front, but only after you give them your credit card number. And then they want you to pay the monthly subscription fee based on how many songs you download. Its probably not a bad deal though. You don't have to buy cd's to get the songs you want when you can download only those songs you like. I haven't explored how many Christian artists are offered in these plans yet.
Well, please continue to pray for the team. I was advised earlier today that 2 of the men have not received their packet with their passports and tickets yet. Interesting that here in Arizona, we got ours over the weekend and the men that are in, I think, Pennsylvania, haven't got theirs.
