Moving To Wordpress

I bought my own domain name and have set it up with Wordpress blogging software and it is up and running. Check it out at http://eikisaint.com/. Eiki is the Icelandic nickname for Eiríkur. Eiríkur is the Icelandic version of Eric. We also bought the domain http://24-7iceland.com/ . I have them parked on the same server space. I will keep this blog up for another couple of months, just to let people know I have moved, but I have already started blogging over at http://eikisaint.com/. Come on over and join me. :-)

Working and Waiting

I have been working at Dilworth Coffee ever since we got back from Iceland. I have enjoyed working there. The people that work there are great and the coffee is excellent. I can't wait to move to Iceland. Oh yeah Greg and I showed up at Bob Jones house unannounced and he had an incredible word and wisdom for me and Iceland. :-)

Iceland

The trip to London and Iceland was incredible. God is moving in such incredible ways in Iceland. We met a group of people that a part of the Kópavagur House of Prayer. It was a honor to move among them in their homes and house of prayer. It was awesome to see God moving through these people. Iceland is on the verge of a radical transformation. God is moving and people´s hearts are being changed. I am excited that God has chosen Katie and I to come along side what he is already doing in these people. We have found a building for us to live and for the house of prayer. Now we are just waiting for God to deliver this building to us. :-)

Matthew 5:3-11

Mat 5:3 Sælir eru fátækir í anda, því að þeirra er himnaríki.
Mat 5:4 Sælir eru sorgbitnir, því að þeir munu huggaðir verða.
Mat 5:5 Sælir eru hógværir, því að þeir munu jörðina erfa.
Mat 5:6 Sælir eru þeir, sem hungrar og þyrstir eftir réttlætinu, því að þeir munu saddir verða.
Mat 5:7 Sælir eru miskunnsamir, því að þeim mun miskunnað verða.
Mat 5:8 Sælir eru hjartahreinir, því að þeir munu Guð sjá.
Mat 5:9 Sælir eru friðflytjendur, því að þeir munu Guðs börn kallaðir verða.
Mat 5:10 Sælir eru þeir, sem ofsóttir eru fyrir réttlætis sakir, því að þeirra er himnaríki.
Mat 5:11 Sælir eruð þér, þá er menn smána yður, ofsækja og ljúga á yður öllu illu mín vegna.

Virginia Tech

Yesterday was a sad day for America. Over 30 students at Virginia Tech University were killed by a man who was in the States on a Visa. This really hit me hard for many reasons. I was born 5 minutes from VT and my dad worked for VT for years. This is one of the quietest little towns I have ever been in. Please join me in praying for grace for the surviving family members.

New from the Rock

Things are going very well this week in Iceland. We have met with a lot of pastors this week. Everyone is very excited to meet us and to find out why God is bringing us to Iceland. I will put pictures up when I get home. The team from 24-7 is incredible. It feels like family.

Pictures Of Our Time In London

London

Katie and I are finally getting ready to turn in for the night. We have just gotten to our destination in London after traveling for over 30 hours on a few hours sleep. We had a blast on a few minor glitches. I really enjoy traveling with Katie. She makes me laugh. You that laugh so hard that what ever your drinking comes out of your nose. We met with Andy Freeman when we got to Heathrow. He took very good care of us. He is a good man and I am grateful to count him a new friend. We are staying a some friends in Camden Town. I will put up some pictures soon. For now I am going to take a shower and go to bed. See you guys soon.

My Wife

I hung out with my wife tonight and it was great. Katie is an incredible woman. I am amazed at how close we have become over the last year. Katie thanks for being my love and my friend.
