"The tour with Superchic[k] and BarlowGirl has been ballistatic and stablatic (P-90X reference)! I think my favorite thing about this tour is having a bus with 15 people on it (us and Superchic[k]) and all the craziness that occurs because of it. Nothing generates community and brotherly love like packing oneself in a steel tube with wheels, going town to town like traveling minstrels, and doing life together.
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" is a favorite Proverb from the Bible. Sparks can tend to fly, but the end result is a sharpening that can't be achieved on one's own. It's the brilliant design of God. All of us on the tour were able to listen to, pray for, and comfort Trish and Melissa of Superchic[k] when their mother had a heart attack while on the tour (she's doing very well now), and we all got the text about Mark's (Superchic[k]'s road manager) father being tested for cancer this coming week. "Together" let's carry each other's burdens, laugh, get silly, get ridiculous, get loud, and live life. I'm thankful for it."

Side note. VOTA currently has a song in my list of songs to consider, "Honestly". Man is it a good one. I hope to share it with you soon!
Q&A with Sara Groves:
Q: Earlier this summer, your family had the privilege of visiting your sponsor child Iranzi in Rwanda. Share about that experience.
Sara:"When we got to the house, Iranzi was away playing with some friends, and we had some time to talk to his mom and meet one of his older brothers and his youngest brother. Iranzi has eight siblings, ages two to twenty-one! His father was at the market with his two older sisters, so we did not get to meet them. The mother was very kind, and we talked about our kids through an interpreter. It was customary for them to ask us what they could be praying for, for us, and in turn we would ask the same of them.Skillet - "Monster" Official Music Video.
After a while, Iranzi and a group of boys came down the hill. I could tell right away that sweet Iranzi was not used to being the center of attention. He is very serious and quiet. He seemed overwhelmed with the attention, so we decided to go inside the house to give them some small gifts. We had brought a bag of school supplies for each of the siblings, and a couple of other special things for Iranzi. We brought a hand powered flashlight for his father, and some lotions and other useful things for his mother. I had brought all of the gifts in a market bag, and also gave that to the mother... I think that was her favorite thing.
We prayed together in the house, and I couldn't help but notice that her prayers were all about heaven. Maybe because I have so many conveniences here on earth, I don't think about heaven like she does, but her greatest prayer was that we would all get to heaven, and her greatest thanksgiving was that when we got there, we would be together. What a hope, what joy, what a promise!"
Whoooo...This is dang cool. Love the video, love the song. We'll have to see where it goes. Without more delay...Watch the video below:
That's enough for today. Enjoy your day, and recommend a song if you get a chance, I'd love to hear what you're listening to.
