Help from my Cyber Friends

Hello everyone. I haven't used this journal very often to ask for help, but I figure if you are odd enough to want to read about my life, you may wanna help a brother (and his wife and kids) out.

There is an increasing possibility that my family will be doing a show in Hawaii (Maui) for 4-6 weeks in the near future. We are looking for a place to stay for under $1000/month, which pretty much means we need to go through somebody who might know somebody who likes to give discounts to actors/church planters/poor white people. We can make do with a room or 2 and a bathroom for the 4 of us. The show is in Lahaina on Maui. We would be there sometime late April through the end of May...but its flexible.

So...e-mail us via the link in the side bar over there ---> if you can help.

Mahalo. (Thanks, Nicole)

Air Travel...

I woke up to 32 degrees and snow. Five hours later the ATA captian tells us that its sunny and 90! I'm back from Indiana. The wedding was nice. I met these guys: click here. They sang in the wedding and are part of my friend Ben's house church in Cincy.

When I got back into town I was told that the guy who shares my role with me in TNT was "suspended". I'm not sure what that means except that I am Michael everyday escept Sundays until further notice. I've been wanting to get more days, but not at someone's expense. Mixed feelings.

A good sign you are getting older: you prefer crossword puzzles to video games. Yep...I turn 31 in 3 weeks.

Quick Trip

We are flying to Indiana tomorrow at midnight with a layover in Chicago. I'm not looking forward to the flight, but it will be nice to see family. My brother-in-law Dave is getting married. We will just be there through the weekend, and then back to Vegas.

Love

I spent nearly an hour telling a friend about Jesus in the parking lot of the Rio tonight. I was able to explain the Kingdom of Heaven to him better than I ever have before. He asked why I treat people the way I do and I explained that I just try to give everyone the gift that I have been given...love. I don't get lots of things. I don't honestly understand the afterlife at all. He had questions and I just had to agree with his questions. But I think I get Jesus. I like him. I'm horribly embarrassed of his followers, but I'll talk about him all day long.

I see Jesus slowly making his way into this community and it makes me happy. I have no idea what he will do tomorrow.

Loss

We just received word that Kelly's mom passed away this evening. Please remember the Parkers in your prayers.

Perfect

Today was perfect. 75 degrees with a slight breeze. And I took a nap. Naps are happy things.

Aloha means Hello

Tonight I wish I had something really deep or profound to say, but I don't. I'm working every night this week at TNT, which is a good thing financially. It is starting to feel a little like a job at times, but a fun job...Tonight they invited any of us who are interested to think about doing the show in Hawaii for two months. Hmm...We probably won't be doing that, but I'll spend the next 24 hours thinking about if it is possible. (It only pays $500/week and housing isn't included, so that's not much to live on seeing as we would still have to pay the mortgage back here and all...) I guess I have already thought about it a bit.

Anyway, Aloha means goodbye.
