4 a.m. in Estonia

AS USUAL, I'M AWAKE AT 4 A.M. ON THE FIRST MORNING AFTER I ARRIVE HERE. AND I'M HUNGRY. THE SUN IS ALREADY UP AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A NICE DAY. ONE OF THE NEAT THINGS ABOUT SUMMER HERE IS THAT THE SUN RISES WAY EARLY AND SETS WAY LATE. IT IS DARK FOR ONLY ABOUT 4-5 HOURS OUT OF 24.

FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO THE BLOG, I'M JUST REALLY TRY TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH ALL OF YOU THROUGH IT. TRYING TO STAY ON THE SAME PAGE WITH YOU, AND....I GET LONELY AND FISH FOR COMMENTS FROM YOU. YOU CAN LEAVE ME ONE AT ANYTIME DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT SAYS, (AMAZINGLY), "COMMENTS".

HERE'S A GIFT FOR YOU THIS MORNING. IT'S ONE OF THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT IS JUST GOOD TO KNOW.

I'M THINKING THAT AS YOU WATCHED FRANCIS CHAN LAST NIGHT, SOME OF YOU WERE THINKING...I ALREADY KNOW SOME OF THIS, IT'S ELEMENTARY TO ME. IF THAT IS YOU, I WANT TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE STAY ON THE BUS. HE WILL ON PURPOSE LAY A FOUNDATION AND BUILD ON IT. STAY ON THE JOURNEY WITH US. YOU WILL BE REWARDED. GOD IS TRYING TO BLESS US. HE WILL, IF WE'LL TRY.

TODAY, I WANT YOU TO TAKE THE TIME TO JUST PRAY AND ASK GOD TO SPEAK TO YOU AND TO ALL OF US THROUGH WE JOURNEY THROUGH "CRAZY LOVE".

ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER.

LOVE YA'LL. YA'LL LOVE EACH OTHER.
