Some interesting visitors to me blog lately. Not people I expected to see looking at my blog. So hello to you all! Welcome.

This morning we made a short film. It was just a bunch of us mucking around, but it was fun. The plot was Jason Bourne tracking down Rob Bell to find out who Jesus was. We had a blast. I will put some of the video up on YouTube soon'ish.

While in India and Nepal, I am planning to try some ways to stay healthy. If you're not aware, most missionaries get sick when they hit the mission field. I am not sure I can prevent sickness, but I am going to try an limit the impact. I am using pro-biotics, which are good bacteria that stays in your gut and will hopefully build a strong defense against bad bacteria. It is said that your gut is 90% of your immune response. I am also taking some powerful digestive enzymes. These will break down food my body is unfamiliar with. And then I am taking a daily multivitamin, which may sound basic, but very important. I am taking a personal water purifier built into a water bottle. It is a true purifier, not just a filter. There are other basic things we can do as well. never ever touch your face with your hands. Don't share cups, utensils etc. Inevitably though I will get sick, so all these efforts are simply to try and not get hit so hard and to recover as fast as possible. Of course, prayer is a major component too since not all sickness is from bacteria or virus.

I am hoping to create a lot of video and take a lot of photos of where I am going. I will also be teaching some multi-media skills such as photography, video editing and web design to some people in India who have requested this. I now have a video camera to take with me, and I am still needing a digital SLR camera. Please consider helping me with this need.

Ok, I am going to try to keep blogging more and more. so i am in the flow of things before I leave for India. Look for hopefully daily updates.
