88,000 university students in Kampala. We could have 500 on the field or we could have 40,000ish
Here is our field in the middle of Makerere University
We will worship and experience God for a 2 Day event May 30-31.
God, we have to have you!
With upcoming idea fun from my boss that involves Twitter, I had to join (khfranklin) to figure this monster out. Thanks Jeff. I am not sure I will thank you for this later.
Luke seriously is such a sweet little boy. He’ll come over and just hug you randomly or give you big open mouth kisses. He finds little treasures-rocks, paper, FEVERS, really anything and gives them right to you, no tantrums, no anger, just pure excitement . It’s almost like i can see his little mind saying, “well of course I would give that you, you’re the best person in the world!” In true Luke fashion, he shared with me whatever his little virus is. Didn’t feel great yesterday, but thought it was my lack of sleep. NOPE! Woke up this morning with white spots in my throat, a fever, and achy all over!!!. Thanks Luke!
PS-anyone have a clue what white spots mean?
Luke has been sick since Wednesday. Not a little sick, 104.0 fever yesterday sick. He’s on the mend, today hopefully. We’re going to go test him out at Five Guys b/c that is what responsible parents do.
Ever since Luke was born, I have tried to savor each moment. I have tried not to wish for the next stage or hope that he does certain things faster than he was supposed to. We have had a lot of fun enjoying the first smile, first laugh, first “what was that noise”, first army crawl, first step-you get my drift. The one first that I had been putting off was the haircut. I loved Luke’s little curls and hated the thought of cutting his hair. Well last week while Michael was gone, my friend 
Tatum and I took Luke for his first haircut because it had gotten too bad. Things like this were happening more and more.

So off we went to Fantastic Sam’s..
Yes, he sat there that well without moving a muscle the whole time. He was so sweet while the man with the long, dirty pinky nail cut off my boy’s curls. It was the first milestone where it truly hit me that my baby is becoming a little boy. I didn’t cry, but I was pretty close. If this is any indication, I’m going to be a wreck at his wedding.
Hi everyone,
As most of you know, Michael and I along with 2 other folks are leading the Kampala, Uganda tour stop for the Passion World Tour on May 30 & 31. We are expecting 30,000 students on a field for a 2 day event where the students and volunteers will experience God in a way many have NEVER known before. Our desire is that the students would be inspired to live for the glory of God and be a catalyst for change in East Africa. That they would love God for who He is, not for what He can give them. There are many things left to be accomplished and we are less than 2 months away! OYYYYYY!!!!
You can help us in 2 ways-financially and prayerfully.
FINANCIALLY
We are raising $10,000 to help offset our team’s expenses-meals, airfare, hotel, vaccinations, etc.
PRAYERFULLY
In the words of my boss, “attempt something so big for God that it is bound to fail unless He shows up.” Guess what, we are truly attempting something God size. Please pray for the students, for our team, for the logistical details to fall in place, for protection over our lives and our families and friends lives.
If you are interested in helping in either of these 2 ways, please leave a comment and i will send you specific instructions or prayer requests.
thanks for considering this and know that we appreciate you all!

I had a pretty cool weekend. I was at Passion Atlanta all weekend where 9500ish students experienced God in a way many never had. Our team was in charge of getting every hiney i a seat. We had 10,500ish seats and so there was not a lot of wiggle room. It was every hiney in a seat!!! I love what i have the privilege of doing for Passion. My role directly helps facilitate the students experience God by the way the volunteers interact with them. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment, but I really do love it. It refreshes me, it teaches me how to make decisions and problem solve, how to work with ALL kinds of people and the best thing yet-it shows me how incredibly prideful I am and how desperately I need God. My experiences at Passion BREAK me and bring me literally to my knees. Nothing ever is what you expect, but it is exactly what God wants it to be. So as I start this week, I’m reminded and thankful that God loves me just like He loves every single one of you-all 3 of you. In the words of a sweet student I overheard as she was walking out the door, “My life is forever changed.”
The signs at the top of my exit off I-85 in order that you see-”KEEP MOVING” then “YIELD” then “DO NOT ENTER”
And we wonder why there are accidents and road rage.
I’m just sayin’…
So this past Wednesday, I picked Luke up from weekday and his breathing was NOT normal. After chatting with his doctor’s office, we realized the best thing to do was to take him to Eggleston. So after we arrived and were treated like royalty, we waited… It was a bit hard for me because Luke wanted nothing to do with me, only his daddy. It turns out that it is very important to know family history of things like asthma , allergie
s, etc. For example, I told the dr at first that no, there was no family history of asthma. Then i talked to my sister… Oh wait, my dad had SEVERE childhood asthma and my uncle died of an asthma attack…. oops. Well it turns out everything is fine, Luke is fine, no worries, just some reactive airway disease to contend with.
Bring in Friday morning-Luke and I are just laying in bed and he decides to stand up. I decide to look up at him. He decides to sit down with his finger pointed directly into my eye. Ouch. I think he took the whole top layer of cornea with him. So I am panicking. For those of you who don’t know, I am a FREAK when it comes to my eyes. I almost lost my eye when i was in college, so now I worry when I lose an eyelash, let alone when my son scrapes off the center of my cornea. It turns out that corneal abrasions are very common, but you have to be really careful with them, especially if you wear contacts. So I am on the mend, but the pain I have felt in the last 2 days is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Again, I have broken my thigh, broken my nose, and had a corneal ulcer-this thing hurt!! I am praying for no “recurring corneal erosions” and I am praying that my worry won’t keep me up at night. I struggle with worry and have the ability to dream up things God can’t even think up.
I’m sure the stomach thing I developed today won’t do anything for my anxiety…
Ok, so we all know driving in Atlanta is pure joy most of the time… I know I can be a bit aggressive, but I really enjoy driving my big rig like it is a miata. I personally think Michael’s nickname of “race car driver” is overstating it though. I’m definitely a good driver, definitely a good driver. Anywhoe, there are lots of us on the road so that means we see and experience people doing dumb things. What is the dumbest or most frustrating thing you see folks do?
