If you're a baseball fan, I'd say we're heading into the 7th inning stretch of this missions trip.

Closing in on the final lap..heading into the 4th quarter..I think you understand.

I have learned, and will undoubtedly continue to learn, so many incredible lessons while here in Romania. As a history teacher, I can't help but marvel at some of the buildings in and around Bucharest. As a Christian, I can't help but stand in amazement at this part of His Creation. As a daddy, I can't help but yearn for the young children I have met to have a loving and secure place to call home. This place has had such an impact on my life that it will feel strange leaving it. God bless..

And, I can't leave out my excitement at seeing Tom Watson co-leading the British Open. Aaron was heartbroken at hearing that Tiger missed the cut. He's his favorite golfer, but it would be great to see Tommy win this one come Sunday.
