Start. Stop. GO!

Whew! Life isn't slowing down anytime soon. From Trinidad, being thrown back into work, and now vacation.

Since the world didn't stop while we were in Trinidad, here are a few things worthy of highlighting.

• Shannon and Cooper moved. They headed south while Shannon's husband Mike is still in Iraq. Mike's parents are living in Tennesse and they will be with Shannon and rottweiler Cooper while "dad" is away.

• The United States early departure from Germany. The World Cup is over and Italy is crowned champion of the world for a 4th time. But the big news here in the states is...what happend? Needless to say it's back to the drawing board for U.S. Soccer.

• Sports happenings. Shaq and the Miami Heat took the NBA's top prize while the Detroit Tiger's are baseball's #1 team. The Twins have put together an impressive win streak but unfortunately the Tigers and White Sox have also kept winning.

• Entertainment News. Nicole Kidman got over Tom Cruise by tying the knot and producer Aaron Spelling passed away. But life moves on as Cars, Superman, and Pirates have taken the movie headlines.
  

Back in Minnesota, Erin came back to book orders, team budgets, hundreds of emails, as well as a non-stop phone. I was thrust back into Mission Maker season. Meetings concerning main articles and how to present them, creating Trinidad themed PowerPoints for Faith Baptist Church, and compiling and burning Trini pictures.

After feeling somewhat caught up, now we get to leave...again.

Erin and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary this week in Sandusky, Ohio a top a 300 foot rollercoaster which broke 10 world records (including height and speed). We will be driving the 12 hours to Cedar Point Amusement park. There we will be camping nearby with Bella. It will be our first camping trip alone together.

Monday, July 17th will be our first day back to work and we have a golf marathon as well as another mission trip on the heels of our return. Yikes! As we wrote in a previous post, "I Need This Summer to be Over."

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles. —Revelation 14:19 and 20

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
The wrath of God is real. We must not take His patience with us for acceptance of our sins.
