Jesus is enough.

Jesus is enough.  I think that’s been the overall theme of life as of late and training camp in general. I’ve had an interesting time at training camp. First of all, I kind of forgot about training camp. I had focused so much on preparing for India that I had forgotten about the 4 days that I would spend at AIM. Ooops. So when I landed in the Atlanta airport and we ended up taking MARTA to downtown Atlanta and spending the night at Safehouse (a homeless ministry) and wandering the streets of Atlanta talking to both homeless people and people dressed up as characters for...

Lovely Feet

They give us the only food they have sometimes and it has been very hard to witness that, but also very convicting. It has opened up my eyes to the way I...
