Steve,
I work with Josh Williams up in Seattle and I know Austin's family personally, have seen him speak and hang out with other kids. What an amazing story of making a difference in the life of thousands of people on the other side of the world. If you ever have a chance to bring Austin to MI and let him rub off on some of your students...go for it!

Dean, thanks for checking out the blog. i'm glad that josh is hanging with you guys. Austin's fam is great...we had austin come out last year and he was amazing. his dad's a good guy; but not much of a ping pong player (i hope he reads this).

Carter...common - I think I won that ping pong match? At least that's the way I remember it :) I'm sure there will be ping pong in Heaven. In the interim, let me know when you're back in AZ and we'll have a rematch. Hope you guys are doing well!
