02/10/2010 - Didn't I say I wanted a trim?!

Just kidding in the title, but I did finally go and get my hair chopped off today. It was just time and it was becoming more of an annoyance than something I would use for evangelism. The original thought was that younger people would be more apt to start conversations with a long-haired guy, but it really didn't help. In the last 5 years I can only attribute one such conversation to that.

So anyways, 5 years of hair growth was donated today to make some hair prostheses (I guess that would be wigs?) for kids with cancer. That is a pretty cool thing I think and I would highly encourage anyone to do the same :)

I'll have more pictures later since my mother was the one who took the "action" shots, but I did do a before and after with my own camera.



Oh by the way, over the years I've had many people ask me how they can resize pictures. I always had to tell them I did my own via a program I bought, but you can also do it on http://fotoflexer.com/ which is where I made this picture.


Monday we just spent a majority of the day at home resting. It is our normal family day so we decided to keep it the same when in America when possible.

Yesterday we attended the home group which supports us, also referred to as our care group. They were doing a worship night and so we enjoyed some great worship and prayer. It definately had a different flow than the ones we have in ternopil and I have to admit that this was the first small group prayer meeting I have ever attended in America. Perhaps we just don't do them too much?

Tonight we will be going to a special service about a former PLO sniper for Yassir Arafat who changed from a lifestyle of hatred for Christians and Jews into a Christian himself, full of love. It will be his testimony I think. It should be exciting.

No, you didn't say that. Cool! Even though I can't recognize you.

Right on for "small-church-edness"! I will never get used to that I don't think. I mean, I would come to services, and get fed, and hang out, and leave, but the true close fellowship and worship starts at a "home group" (read - home church).
Glad you guys got here safely! Will see you in May! Yahoo!!

Seems spam bots are getting through the word verification settings on blogspot now - had to delete one that was offensive. Guess I'm turning it off and now moderating them ... sigh. That means comments will be delayed until I approve them.

New post will come shortly. Too late today - yeah, I'm a slacker ;)
