The Moment's Already Passed

I hope you guys have enjoyed the photos over the last few days. The cliche says that a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes even our greatest digital technology still fails miserably to capture the joy, excitement, or sorrow of a moment.

Even with only the blessing of a few days to gain perspective on the trip, I know that I will remember our trip to California for the rest of my life. Part of that recognition comes from seeing the faces of people when we told them what we were doing, but most of it comes from knowing the difference that our small effort might be able to make in the life of this amazing young man.
This is Matt Phillips. He is the son of ACU Professors Julie and Mark Phillips and Matt has OI. After the Phillips approached Patrick and Cole last fall to see if we were planning another large event like Insanity for Humanity, we knew that whatever we did had to benefit the OI Foundation.

The Phillips family came out to the Bible building steps to see us off for the trip on the afternoon of the 10th, but we hope that our small effort will have monumental effects in the world of research to find a cure for OI.

Thanks to all of you who read this blog and asked about the trip or how you could be involved. I'm so glad that God finds a way to use something as ultimately meaningless as this blog to draw people into the work that he is doing to heal a broken world.
