In response to the crisis in Haiti, Realife is trying to raise $10,000 in ten days. It's fun to see the creative ways students and leaders are working to make it happen.

One of my favorite activities this Christmas season is listening to Allison mumble her way through Christmas Carols. Really surprised how many tunes this 2yr old knows.

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Leeland and Brandon Heath were doing a concert at the IL Convention. They are both great guys. Brandon was kind enough to sing a song with Kelly Grace back in the green room. She loves the song "Give Me Your Eyes" and was thrilled to get to sing it with him...even though she didn't act excited!

The audio isn't that great, so you can barely hear her. But trust me, it was beautiful!

Just returned from an amazing weekend at the Illinois Youth Convention. Paul Hinzman and his team did an awesome job.

I was especially excited to have Kelly Grace travel with me. Stay tuned...more behind the scenes videos to follow!

Casey had a great night last night. She is obviously in some pain but she slept well. The doctor felt good about the surgery, and now we wait for the results from pathology - should know something Monday.

Casey is in good hands with her home medical team!

Casey is prepped and ready...except for the IV...after two tries they gave up. They will try it again when she goes in for surgery.

Part of the battle is already behind her. They inserted a wire in the mass that the surgeon will use to guide the incision. Pinched a little...but she was strong!

She is in great spirits...well, kind of. She's mad at me because I won't give her a piece of gum. Just following doctor's orders!

Two days ago, Casey went to her doctor for what she thought was a simple exam. There was some swelling under her arm but didn't think much of it. After a few pictures and then a few more pictures, the doctor said there was an abnormal lymph-node that was very concerning to her. Twenty-four hours later we were meeting with a surgeon who said there was reason to worry.

Now, less than 48hrs since the first visit, we're at Cox South preparing for surgery. They will remove the mass and then have the results back Monday.

We're so thankful for amazing friends and family who are covering us in prayer! And extremely grateful for a faithful God who is in complete control.

I will attempt to update you as often as possible. Thanks for checking in!

We just concluded an amazing night at Realife. Tonight was our One Big Party outreach with special guests "Rootberry". They were awesome. Thanks to Joseph Kellogg for recommending them!

Here's a little post-party interview.
