Primary Focus


Spending time with kids is sometimes way more than you bargain for. Every day we perform up to four assemblies at two different schools. Occasionally we get the opportunity to have an all day school. These are my favorite! This means we perform the assembly twice, eat in the lunch room amoungst the kids, play at recess, and then spend 15-30 minutes in each classroom. The past couple of weeks in Kansas and Wyoming have been a fun and exciting start to our tour. I was taught by a third grader the process of tearing down firewalls in my computer as my casual lunch conversation, met a lot of wanna-be vets (or zoo-keepers), atheletes, teachers, doctors, and performers, signed hundreds of autographs while being asked if I worked for Disney, and I had the opportunity to see smiles come to the faces of children who came to school hurting that morning because of the homes they were coming from. It's the hardest work I've ever had to do because it makes for the longest days, but it's the most rewarding as well.

The Journey Begins.

Monday morning comes and the Green team piles into our nine passenger van and heads for the west coast. With many anxious thoughts and feelings, the excitement was almost too much to handle. Saying goodbye to family and friends left emotions running high. It's been four days since we left and the initial shock of road life is wearing off. Personally, I love living on the road. I'm in a new place every day getting to be a complete tourist and I have the opportunity to meet all kinds of interesting people. My only complaint is living out of a suitcase...it can get pretty heavy sometimes! I was able to take a picture at the Arch in St. Loius, MO a couple of days ago; today I'm in Shawnee, KS; and Nebraska will be my home for the weekend. That's just a glimpse of how fast the traveling happens. My team is doing wonderful. We love each other and love laughing together. It's awesome to have a constant prayer group, worship ensemble, and comedy barn surrounding me at all times. I look forward to the many adventures that will unfold as this journey continues.
