The Big 2

"What are you going to be doing in Australia?" people are beginning to ask me. Quite frankly: I don't know! But I did speak to one of my missionary friends about what to expect. "Stu, you've got to keep it simple," he told me, "whenever people asked me what I was doing, I would tell them, 'The Big 2.' I would then tell them about the two greatest commandments: loving God and loving our neighbors." With that advice, I now know for certain what we'll be doing in Australia: the Big 2!

Change That to November 6th

Okay, so a football game had a say in our original date of choice, but a travel agent had the final say. So we will be leaving for Australia on November 6th. First stop? . . . Stay tuned!

Why November 3rd?


For those of you who really know me, then this is a no brainer. Pull out your college football schedules and look at whom the Huskers play on Saturday, November 1st: Oklahoma. Yes, a football game had a hand in determining the exact date of our departure. Now, if the Huskers lose, then we'll be a bit disappointed hopping onto that plane, but if they win, then what a sendoff it will be!
