The following is an 
                actual email we received from a friend and colleague: 
                 
                  Tim 
                    and Annette,
                    Are you still alive? I haven't heard from you for months. 
                    Please let me know what's going on.
                    ......................... Your 
                    Friend, Felix
                
                It gives you a 
                  glimpse into our lives from December to mid February. 
                  Unfortunately our lack of time and/or access to email kept us 
                  out of touch with everyone, including with you. You might not 
                  have even noticed that two months went by without letter from 
                  us in your mailbox, but we have sweated 
                  over leaving you out of the loop of our lives. Its 
                  ironic how when we most want you to know what's going on and 
                  most need your prayers to fill our sails we tend to be the most 
                  out of touch. 
                So very very much 
                  has happened that we couldn't begin to squeeze onto this page 
                  - Egypt, Ethiopia, the EJE youth retreat, the International 
                  Association for the Study of Youth Ministry conference, connecting 
                  St Andrew's Church in Argentina with Northland Church in Orlando. 
                  But we can't not tell you 
                  about it so we have stories and pictures available online. So 
                  when you have a few minutes, get your favorite beverage --I'd 
                  go for a cup of Earl Grey or Dr. Pepper with crushed ice depending 
                  on the weather :-) 
                  -- and click here for photos 
                  'n notes from our travels. 
                We're still reeling 
                  from the overwhelming privilege that we got to experience and 
                  participate in all of these events. There really is nothing 
                  like seeing God working around you, nothing like 
                  the rush that comes from having been used in something that 
                  has the scent of eternity around it.
