Ready for Brazil

On Friday we leave for Brazil.  While there seems to be a lot of details that still need to be ironed out – we are basically ready to go.  Got our visas, places to sleep, airline tickets, and immunizations.  I’ll try and post a couple of updates while we are on the trip but I am making no promises.  Pictures and stories a plenty when we get back.

Climbing a Transmission Tower

A pretty amazing video of some maintenance guys climbing a radio tower.  Makes me wish I had majored in Transmission Tower Maintenance instead of Architecture.

Proverbs 1

²⁰ Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
   in the markets she raises her voice;²¹at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
   at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:²²"How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
   and fools hate knowledge?²³If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
   I will make my words known to you.²⁴ Because I have called and you refused to listen,
   have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,²⁵because you have ignored all my counsel
   and would have none of my reproof,²⁶I also will laugh at your calamity;
   I will mock when terror strikes you,²⁷when terror strikes you like a storm
   and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
   when distress and anguish come upon you.²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
   they will seek me diligently but will not find me.²⁹Because they hated knowledge
   and did not choose the fear of the LORD,³⁰ would have none of my counsel
   and despised all my reproof,³¹therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way,
   and have their fill of their own devices.³²For the simple are killed by their turning away,
   and the complacency of fools destroys them;³³but whoever listens to me will dwell secure
   and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."
