Out of the clear blue

I was laying in bed Sunday night, and God brought my buddy Blaine to mind. Blaine and I went to India on a mission trip together four summers ago. We don't talk much, but the twice a year conversations keep us up to date. So when God brought him to my mind, I knew it was time to give the boy a holler.

Well, he beat me to the punch. Monday afternoon, while sitting in Systematic Theology, my phone starts buzzing. Sure enough, it's Blaine. I finally got a hold of him this evening. Turns out, he is on his way to Iraq for a seven month tour of duty.

So I want to ask that you would be praying for my friend, as well as all f the other thousands of folks serving around the world.

Blaine, take care of yourself my friend!
