Hong Kong via New Jersey

It is exciting to be headed to Hong Kong to see thousands of university students who have been patiently waiting for 4 weeks while Passion traveled to Kiev, UK, London, England, Tokyo, Japan and Manila, Philippines.
After a brief rest at home, I have arrived in New Jersey for a 4 hour layover before my plane takes off for Hong Kong. It will be a long flight and I hope to get some rest somewhere over the Pacific. My brother, Todd, is headed that way from Houston, via Detroit.
I met a guy, RICO, in Manila, who is a bulk of a man, who I plan on seeing again in HK. He was the Security contact in Manila and said he lives in Hong Kong and plans on being at the Passion event. He is not a believer, so pray for him and me as well as we talk.
I look forward to seeing the thousands of university students worship and listen to what God has to say to them through Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin and David Crowder.

How have you been doing? What is going on in your life? If you are reading this, somewhere along the line you have had some troubles, trials, pain and suffering. If you allow Him, that is the time you can and will grow closer to Him. The story of the prophet Habakuk I "briefly" blogged about earlier ends with the realization by the prophet that "no matter what" God is God and in control of everything. In spite of all the things going on in the world...God is in control and His plan will be done. He has already been there! Is your heart troubled? Is your life a mess? With that in mind if we can read and live the 4-word prayer that Jesus prayed in John 12:27-28..."Father, glorify thy name..." That is my prayer, that no matter what, "Father, glorify thy name."
I want my life to reflect His. We are so easily "distracted" in our day-to-day lives. We trust Him to Save us, but we don't trust Him to be involved in our day-to-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute details. Things and people get in the way and make us angry and we forget WHO HE is!

WOW! I did not mean to preach or lecture. I do like to teach and read, but this is a blog about "making Him famous." That is what I want to do and why I take weeks of vacation away from home to travel around the world. I don't know how much time we have left, but it is a day shorter than it was yesterday.

I will be in the plane for next 20 hours or so and will arrive in HK sometime Thursday!?
No photos as of yet, so, stay tuned and take care.
