Birth of a Blog

Over the years I've always tried very hard to keep in contact with friends and family as they move about and go on with thier busy lives. Unfortunately I work very long and very odd hours only coming out at night and then retreating to the bat cave during what you all call "normal hours." Well folks, here is my attempt to keep in contact.
So why am I calling my blog Rice Krispies you might ask? It all happened on 53 hour bus ride with 20 teenagers. My friend Angela and I were serving as chaparones for a group of students on a mission trip to Mexico. It was probably some wee hour of the morning and I'm sure we were sleep deprived... If I remember correctly we were doing a little debriefing on our day when for some reason I turned to Angela and asked her what her Rice Krispies were saying to her. We spent the rest of the bus ride sharing and reflecting on what God had been doing in our lives and how He had been speaking to us. To make a long story short, the phrase stuck not to mention spread. Now, over four years later we share our "Rice Krispy Treats" almost weekly. Similiar "Rice Krispy exchanges" also happen with others as well.
I hope that anyone who reads this blog will find the rice crispies shared here encouraging.
