Hello everyone.
Well we are in the last day of waiting and it has been something of a wild ride.
I'm excited, I'm packed ... I'm having panic attacks. I ADMIT it. AHHHHH !!!!
So I went to my Dr. for a little something to calm me down while waiting. I've done this before and I will confess it. So I have my two drugs, for just in case. Being air sick is not fun for anyone either. I think I've got the two necessities to by-pass any problems. Usually once on the plane and on the way ... I'm fine. It's just the ole brain playing games with the mind. I can pray about it ... Give it to God ... and then ... low and behold there I am again taking it back again to stress about.
We all favor your prayers for this trip and appreciate your support.
More later,
Linda

Less than two weeks to go and counting.
Greetings ...
Are you ready to go??? I am ... just about.
My suitcase is packed and a large "see through" fishing tackle type box is filled with camera and computer accessories to be carried on in a wheeled back pack. While I often travel with my computer, as many do these days, I've never had to pack for doing video documentation. Even though this documentation is at a minimum level, there are still lots of items to take. Extra batteries, cables, memory cards, electrical converters, etc., etc. I keep wondering what I've forgotten. Well, it's not like we're going into the bush so to speak and they have stores in the places where we are going. I just don't want to waste the time shopping for "forgotten items" when I could be shopping for "fun."
I'm looking forward and excited to be part of documenting this trip. It's impossible to take it all in. I don't suppose that we can video it all either, but it will certainly help this person look back and remember what was said and forgotten. How many times have you watched a movie or reviewed an online lecture and saw or heard something you hadn't seen or heard before. I need review, review, review.
I don't think I've ever been so ready to go and still have so much left to do. It's my own fault of course. I keep adding things to the "to do" list. If I don't write it down ... well, it just may not get done. Is it because I'm getting older. Perhaps partly, but mostly because I'm trying to do something else when I think of it.
I think we treat God that way. If He's not on our lists ... we just don't get to Him. It's really quite a shame that we've gotten so busy. Do you have God on your list? Whether written or just in your head ... is He on it? Is He the first one you speak to in the morning and the last before heading off to sleep, at the very least?
If He's not ... write Him on a list ... and post it where you can see it.
And now I need to get back to my list. And I can check "blog" off my priority list.
Have a great day and see you back here soon.
God Bless you and yours.
Linda
