Sitting in the Schipol Airport- the nicest Airport I have ever been in. There is a museum, casino, and shopping mall inside the airport. Security check is at each individual gate, so the wait is short. You only have to wait in line with those boarding your flight, not the whole airport. Plus this allows visitors and family the benefit of enjoying the entire airport.
While in Amsterdam, we had some time to take a train to go visit with Kevin Jacobson. He currently lives in The Hauge. He is there taking Dutch lessons before he takes off for Suriname. We were able to have dinner with him before continuing on to Kenya. The picture here is a field of flowers I saw from the train. I thought they were tulips, but maybe they were just dafodils. No disrespect to dafodils.
I am pleased to announce that the Religion Communicators Council has awarded “Best in Class – Internet – Web” to the Flash project I did for 
Church in Society. The project is the Web-based version of their curriculum, “Free in Christ to Care for the Neighbor – Lutheran Youth Talk about Human Sexuality.”
This is a high honor that I am very grateful to accept. Thanks go out to many people here at the ELCA including Kaari Reierson, Kris Koskinen, Tim Frakes, Jim Parks, and the crew out at Video Impressions in Aurora, IL.
The award presentation will be at the RCC Convention in Washington, D.C.
Here is a video of all the Best in Class Winners.
