Long Distance Surprise

Got a surprise phonecall from Velta! She's over in Australia for several months of schooling.

Her friends were all gone for a few days, then her wallet and ID were all stolen. Alone and nearly broke in a foreign country, and lost in translation from cultural differences, her cheapest form of entertainment for the day was... a phone card.

So of course we talked for a couple of hours... about countries, sharks, shells, our faith, bubbles, and the last of relationships. I know you're worried, Velta, but there's not much you can do at the moment. Keep Praying. Matthew 6:25-34.

While she's there, I hope she goes to visit Hillsong!! It's an incredible church, that's growing fast, and making a huge difference in Australia. For example, providing free use of instruments and professional recording studios for amateur artists. An awesome ministry.

It was great to catch up with an old friends. And with technology nowadays, what with email, messaging, blogging, webcams, and satellites... there wasn't even a noticeable timelag on the phone around the world.
