I'm in Dubai, Rody in Dallas

Let the fun begin! I had an uneventful(16.5 hours) trip to Dubai and am now waiting for 16 hours in the airport. Rody took the same amount of time to fly AA from San Angelo to Dallas. Yup! He is stuck @ DFW waiting for a re-route to Lahore. Other than slight inconvenience of not being together in Dubai, we are both well and looking forward to getting on the ground together in Lahore. The UAE is an amazing place where sand from the ocean floor is often excavated to create islands where multi-storied, 5 star Hotels are built. It causes me to think of the parable of building on the sand every time I am here.

As for me I am fine, the family is fine, and the contacts in Lahore are prepared and excited. On a sad note, longtime board member and friend of TSEA, Skeeter Tucker passed away early Wednesday morning. Skeeter was one of the finest personal soul winners I ever met. He loved to share his story of redemption with everyone he met. The night he died, he and his precious wife Debra had visited a friend with cancer in the nursing home. He wanted nothing more than for all he knew to have the same hope and assurance as he. Skeeter was the sole proprietor of Skeetebuilt motors in San Angelo. He often used his business as a place to launch into what was most important in life. Skeeter often sacrificed income for he and his family by helping someone in need and not charging them, but rather ministering to them. Skeeter was a remarkable man, amazing witness, and friend. He will be missed. His services will be Friday afternoon at 4:00pm at Johnson Funeral home in San Angelo TX.

Well I will let you know when I get to Pakistan. Thanks for all of the prayers and all of your support! Check out the Total Surrender Facebook page and hit the like box! :) Living fast and loving people in Dubai.
