Sorry For The Lack Of Posts

I haven’t posted in a while, and there’s a reason.  I’ve been on a mission trip to Liberia and Guinea in West Africa.

In addition to my day job of being a personal injury lawyer, I also have a volunteer “job”  serving as the District Lay Leader for the 60+ United Methodist churches in the Austin area.  A team of us travelled to Liberia and Guinea to try and make steps forward in a potential partnership between our churches and United Methodist churches, a school and a health clinic in Diecke, Guinea.

We met wonderful kids and people, saw beautiful countries, and made real progress in working together in the future.  It was a wonderful trip, though I’m glad to be back home with my family.

As I’m back in the office, I’ll try to return to a more normal posting schedule.
