GodChicks Photo Shoot
We spent last Friday doing a photo and video shoot for next year’s GodChicks conference — on location in downtown Los Angeles and Malibu Creek State Park.
Check out the photos online!
Obamas on Election Night
His personal photographer took photos of the family on election night and posted them to Flickr. Most of the photos have well over 200,000 views.
Advent Christmas
Amazing video… and a timely reminder as we enter the “Holiday Season”
They call us mellow yellow…
This morning, we went to a travel clinic in Pasadena to get our Yellow Fever shots and prescriptions for malaria pills. We got 4 of our other teammates together in order to get a group discount (sounds kinda funny on a shot, right? But you know how I am about discounts!)
We walked in, filled out our paperwork while the rest of the group showed up and went in for our consultations while they mixed the vaccine (we all pictured them in the back with martini shakers and made one-too-many “Cocktail” references).
From the consultation we learned that there about 40 other shots we could have gotten and that we really, really should stay away from stray dogs. Ok, so I know I am a canine magnet (what with all that Dog Whisperer I’ve seen), but I learned the “don’t talk to stray doggies” lesson when I was about 4… remember that ER trip, Dad? 
) True, I may have (recently) yelled at Alec to pull the car over so we could “save” a stray dog, then had it’s owner come around the corner looking at me like I’m crazy (oops, my bad! Just thought your dog was loose!!), but I know enough to let the African variety be.
All in all, the process was fast and painless. We each got a tiny little prick in the arm, a fancy yellow card to prove it and were on our way. Uganda, here we come!

Uganda Meeting Number 1
We had a great first meeting yesterday about our trip to Uganda in December. Our first of four prep meetings was with the 47 people going on the trip. We all shared our reasons for going — for the both of us, we’re excited to share in the practical work God is doing to help those in need in Africa. For a country where 50% of the population is under 15, they need leaders, and the Watoto ministry is doing. We’re excited to work with kids of all ages getting food, education, and healthcare through Watoto!
Thanks again for all your support. We couldn’t go on this trip without the financial support of our friends and family!
