I had a great day yesterday.  I spent time with Ambassador Chien and we went to the largest Buddist temple/monastery in Southeast Asia - it was incredible.  I’ll try to share pictures.  We then visited the second oldest Catholic Church.  We’re going to write a book together.  He is hysterical.  There were so many things he shared with me, his views of God, the function of God, how society must engage and interact with faith and community.  There is so much to be learned from East Asian philosophy and mindset - it could help us so much in the West.  He is a curious man - as much as me - so we were asking and sharing non-stop.  He took me to meet a lot of his friends.  This man, I will be praying for - which is fine with him. 

When I first started blogging the map to the right would show places people came from to read.  It was primarily around Texas and the DFW area in particular.  Since I began blogging a few years ago I’ve met a lot of people.  What excites me, is when I meet friends and they start reading my blog and commenting and emailing.  Many for various reasons won’t comment - but they will send me emails.  Because I know who and where many of my friends are . . . . sometimes when I see a star appear I know who is reading it there.  Most of my global readers are not Jesus followers like me - but they are close friends that I pray for weekly and sometimes daily.  I write my blog for you guys these days - I still have to write pastors and leaders, but I want you to understand everything I’m saying - even if you disagree with it - which many of you do - but at least you know why.

Those are just some - and when I see them, It makes me happy - because I know they are tracking with me. 

Can you imagine what God feels when he looks at the world and stars are lit up everywhere from people praying and interceding on other’s behalf?  Father, wherever I am in the world, may you see your Spirit within me lighting up, being light, and drawing others to your light and life.
