…continuing yesterday’s blog on the World Race training for the men about to go on an 11-month mission trip… After the guys had done their symbolic “sanctification,” we set off on a hike up and down (mostly up) in the North Georgia mountains. While we were cruising along, the guys got to know each other […]
World Race Training and Initiation, part 1
I just got back from a week in Gainesville, Georgia–the headquarters of AIM and the location of the latest World Race training. I had an amazing time being ministered to and ministering to the members of the AIM family. I also got to hang out with some great men of God–Seth Barnes, Michael Hindes, Michael […]
We Never Talk Anymore…
…whatever happened to us? We used to talk all of the time… …and smile and say “hello” when we passed each other… …and wave at each other when we saw each other on the street. Has anyone else noticed how people just aren’t sociable anymore? I noticed this trend when jogging around the lake recently. […]
Christ The Lord – Out of Egypt. A Review.
I just finished Anne Rice’s book, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt: A Novel. You’re probably thinking two things… Q1. Isn’t that “Interview with the Vampire” Anne Rice? Q2. Isn’t that book like 3 years old? Why doesn’t Dave read something trendy and hip, like “The Shack” ? And my answers to those… A1. Yes […]

The leaders of G42 have stepped forward with solid plans for Spain, and we’ve identified a location where we can begin our center. We’re going to start in March ’09, and between now and then I will be building the logistics and daily administration from the ground up. That covers everything like application packets, arranging […]

The Spirit of Nehemiah
I was recently reminded of Nehemiah’s story … here he is, a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes. A servant who was tasked to choose wines for the king and to taste them–first, to see if they were “fit for a king”, and secondly, to make sure they weren’t poisoned. (The Kings of Persia had just a […]
A Mixed Bag
It’s 4am, we just got back from a trip to the ER for Ben, he had a 102 degree fever and was screaming inconsolably. We drove the 15 minutes to the ER, by which time (of course) he had stopped. In the parking lot, he even flashed a few smiles and had a fun time jerking […]
Trust God, Not Man
The chairman of AIM, and one of the founders of G42, Andrew Shearman, recently gave me the option to “get out.” He sat me down in his office, talked for a little while about family and the Air Force, but then suddenly stopped smiling. The Spain Training center was still dream at this point, and there were still […]
