I am back (with a special request)

Six months. 

 YES. I have been away from this blog and from all of you for six whole months! 

 Life has been extremely busy but it has been GREAT and continues to be filled with joy. 

 I hope that you do not mind at all that I am back with a special request. 

This is about my friend Eddie Anstey. 

Taken sometime in 2008 in Makati City (Philippines)

We met him and his wife Amy in Manila. We went to the same church and immediately started spending a lot of time together. 

Taken at a party right before we left Manila.

 They eventually moved back to Nashville (where they are originally from) several months before we made this city our new home. The coolest thing about this is now they have an adorable little girl named Indiana! I get to hang out with her when her Mommy is at work.

Our first meal together in Nashville.

 Not only do we love this family, we really believe that they can make a difference in this world. Eddie is a someone who values integrity and character. He also has a deep love for Jesus and we clearly see that this is his foundation in leading his family and with the way he works. 

 Today, he is candidate for a full scholarship to a graduate business degree in Lipscomb University (worth $40,000!). We are certain what a degree like this can do in Eddie's future and how it will impact others in a life-changing way. 

 I really want to help him win this scholarship. Not only because he is my friend but mainly because I personally want to help people who has a heart to lead like Christ and wants to do great things for the sake of the Kingdom.
