My wife Laura just left for Costa Rica. She is participating in a medical mission with a team from our church, Parkview Christian Church. They will be providing medical care to the poverty-stricken people in the surrounding area of Parkview's sister church, Centro Christo Alabanza. This is a trip that Laura has longed to be a part of since hearing of it - and I can't begin to describe how proud I am of her! She has been given the opportunity to use her professional skills as a ministry to those much less fortunate than we are. And although medical missions is a passion that has hidden itself within her for some time, I am convinced that our pursuit of adoption has contributed to shaping her heart even further in this area. I am sure that she will return a changed person - someone I will continue to fall deeper in love with every day. Leaving me and the boys proved a difficult task, but in the long run, we will all be better people because of her sacrifice. Isn't she amazing?

8 Ain't So Great
The CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) has updated their system with referrals through January 4th, 2006. This again makes only 8 days of referrals this month. Wanna know something interesting? The 2008 Summer Olympics will begin on August 8th, 2008 (8-8-08) with the opening ceremony commencing at 8:08:08 pm CST (China Standard Time) at the Beijing National Stadium in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The number 8 is associated with prosperity and confidence in Chinese culture. So how does 8 measure up in my book? I'm beginning to hate 8.
