#5...The Second Documentary

Only about 25 people know who actually wore the "LU the Bison" while entertaining the kids at Sacred Heart School back a few years ago.

A select few know the premise behind the term, "Where's Norm?"

Another few folks truly believe that gorillas exist on Caribbean islands.

Not very many people have ridden on "The Cool Bus" with my husband behind the wheel.

It's quite a feat to say you have hiked "The Ladder", "Whale's Head", or Mt. Scenery. 

Compared to the amount of people in this world, only a hand full know what the stars at Well's Bay look like at nighttime.

In the grand scheme things, there are not many folks who have enjoyed a juicy, ripe mango straight off of a tree while walking on the streets in The Bottom. 

Less than 400 people know what is feels like to land on the shortest commercial runway in the world and tell the man in the customs window, "I am with Lipscomb and will be staying in the Sunny Valley Youth Center for 10 days."

In my previous post I shared the first of a three part documentary series on Saba and the Lipscomb University trips that have been a part of the island for over fifteen years now. Below you will find the second documentary that focuses on the impact that these trips have had on the people that make this work happen...the students of Lipscomb University and their friends.

These team members have come to mean more to me, Michael, and the three kids than we can speak. I never dreamed my heart could grow so big for a group of "college students". They have taught me to laugh longer, love easier, and live more enthusiastically. Jackson has had some wonderful role models that he would have never known if hadn't been for these trips. My girls have learned confidence and what true beauty looks like as they set at the feet of some of the most amazing young ladies ever. Our family continues to do life alongside many of them, even though their years at Lipscomb with Spring Break and Summer mission trips have ended. We are so thankful for each and every one of them.

In Heaven I bet somewhere there will be a big slab of concrete called a parking lot, complete with a garbage truck and loud music, and all these sweet people from all these precious teams will be circled up together in the greatest "family meeting" ever.

I love all you current and former Saba-Lipscomb team members more than you know! Documentary 2 is dedicated to you...
