Not Always Black or White
I like to pride myself in my flexibility and ability to keep an open mind, but the truth is I often see things in black and white. At least when it affects me.
Case in point:
As you know, I have looked at this trip to Iraq and seen two options.
- Angie and I don't raise 100% of our support by March 9. In this case, the training goes on without us and we stay home, never to return to Iraq.
- Angie and I do raise 100% of our support by March 9 and we go ahead as planned.
Turns out, though, that there's a third option: Training could be postponed until April 13th!
We can totally raise 100% of our support by April 13th. As of last Friday, we have 22%. Not too shabby.
In other news, Daylight Savings Time begins on the 11th and you know what that means.

An Explanation....
What I meant by my last brief post is that the next scheduled training session for a team headed to Iraq with The Organization is scheduled for March 9, and I am slated to lead that team (which will be a continuation of the team I was on last year).
Are you with my so far?
That means that Angie and I are now trying to raise financial support so that we can head out as planned.
We started raising support in December for this trip, but, earlier this month, things seemed to be on hold. In fact, we had the impression that the team would be postponed. We were wrong! The team came together and now there are enough of us willing to go to Iraq.
God willing, we'll be headed to California in March and be in Iraq by the end of April. We'll be living in the same city in Iraq in which I lived last year, but in a different house. Unlike last time, we don't have to move anything from one city to another; we can just show up and settle in.
In addition to me and Angie, there are three guys coming to training in March. I'll call them Donnie, Gary and Carl. Keep them in your prayers, too. I know they've got to be a little apprehensive to move to Iraq for 6 months.
If you're interested in supporting us financially, let me know...
