I RE-DISCOVERED SOME THINGS ON THIS COLLEGE UKRAINE TEAM

#1 I’M NOT 23 YEARS OLD...I’M 55.

#2 I USED TO THINK OF MYSELF AS HIP....NOW I WONDER HOW LONG BEFORE HIP RELACEMENT SURGERY.

#3 RIDING THE KIEV-TO-MARIOPOL TRAIN WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS IS HILARIOUS.

#4 OUR UKRAINIAN PARTNERS FROM ‘NEW LIFE CHURCH’ AND ‘CHURCH OF GOOD CHANGES’ ARE THE MOST THOUGHTFUL AND SERVANT-HEARTED PEOPLE.

#5 INDIGENOUS, CHURCH-BASED PARTNERSHIP IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO IN LONG RUN MISSIONS.

#6 UKRAINE IS A POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FORCE TO BE RECONNED WITH.

#7 THE BLACK SEA, IN JULY, IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON EARTH.

#8 I AM 10 YEARS BEHIND IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AND THOUGHT.

#9 I WILL NEVER CATCH UP...AND THAT’S OK WITH ME.

#10 I’VE ALREADY GOT NEXT SUMMER IN CRIMEA CIRCLED ON MY CALENDER...CAMP FOR 100 DRUG ADDICTED STREET KIDS ANYONE???
