The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything...

...is 42.

For those of you who haven't read/listened to/watched Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a) you really should consider it and b) the answer is 42, but no one knows what the question is.

For the past two and a half weeks, that has been my life. Answers have abounded, but most of the time, I don't even know what questions to ask. Life in the Communications Department of One Mission Society is always an adventure, fast-paced and jam-packed and

On Beka's and my first day, Foster, our graphic designer, was inspired to comment that there was too much 'e' in the department now. 'E' being estrogen - there are a lot of us women around here. It's a fun place to work - at any given moment, there will be a couple visitors, a 'discussion' about something grammatical, cookies, jolly ranchers, loud music or tangential conversations about refrigerators or good books we're reading right now. Sometimes all of them at once.

Don't get me wrong - we get a lot done. But we're all the type of people who work best when there are a few distractions. If you check the website (www.onemissionsociety.org) in the next few weeks, you might see a couple of stories I've written. I'm also working on projects for Every Community for Christ, Development, and whoever else needs something written, edited or designed. It's fascinating work, and I'm learning TONS of great stuff.



This is where I spend most of my time now. We're working on getting some trips lined up for me, but when I'm in Greenwood, this is where I hold court. I'd love it if you stopped by sometime. Like I said, we're always getting visitors and friends to come in and see us, and it might give you some perspective.

I was telling someone earlier today, I'm really glad to be here. The journey was long and difficult, and there were times when I wanted to hang up my hat and say 'Forget it', but I am so glad that I didn't. These last few weeks have been so rewarding and amazing, and just to be able to hear stories from all over the world about God's faithfulness is so awesome, in the truest sense of the word. I feel like I am really serving a purpose here, and I'm so thankful to everyone who has enabled me to be part of such a great opportunity.

You guys rock.
