These pictures that came across my Internet surfing were absolutely fascinating:

Hearing that there are still unreached people groups that haven’t had contact with those outside their tribe is one thing, but to see pictures of these tribes shooting arrows at a plane flying over is completely intriguing!

Reminds me of the End of the Spear movie and story of missionary Steve Saint.

More information from these photographs taken just this month is available at Survival International’s site.

A great question was raised on the site where I first saw the pictures. The question was what methods of sharing the Gospel with unreached peoples would be most effective. I’m truly caught off-guard by this question and my mind is trying to wrap around the possibility of talking to someone with ZERO knowledge (not to mention language barrier situations) of God’s gift through Jesus!

What would you do? How would you share Jesus to those with ZERO background of a story most of us have grown up knowing and believing in one form or another?

She’s such a big help!

So I was reading a Twitter feed this morning and caught just a glimpse of the words “Simplify Media” and did a quick search and found simplifymedia.com and after a quick download and install I was sharing my entire iTunes library with as many as 30 of my online friends who would download, install, and share their library!

In just a few minutes I twittered about it and a friend of ours saw my feed and installed the program on her computer and within just a few more minutes I was streaming a Kutless album from her computer here in our dining room!

It’s a simple program, quick install and ingenious if you’re into listening to music that you don’t necessarily have access to on your own computer!

Download Simplify Media today and look me up! My screen name is “navets”.

Another great day with the Sheets family today!

We slept in a bit, stayed lazy for the morning and in the early afternoon we headed out to Lapham Peak – a part of the Kettle Moraine State Forest.

We quickly found a geocache early on in our visit and then headed out for a couple hours of of walking on a great paved path. It was a gorgeous day. Ella passed out while we were on the trail and we got her back to the car while still asleep for a ride around in the air conditioning!

We ended the evening with a tour around downtown Delafield and then dinner at the Water Street Brewery.

What a great time together with just us!

Today I surprised Jess and Ella with a day-away and didn’t give Jess even a hint as to what we were doing. When we arrived at Veteran’s Park on the lake in Milwaukee, I think each of us was pleasantly surprised. Hundreds of people and more than a hundred kites littered the sky across the lake. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

After a couple hours of kits we made our first visit to the Whole Foods Market and then headed to Alterra for a drink and then out to dinner at Rocky Roccoco’s Pizza in New Berlin.

It was a great day to be a family!
