Maiu Wowie 5

Actually, we have left Maui and are in Honolulu on the island of O'ahu. This is an entirely different experience. Maui seems to cater to the "high end" folks - example, breakfast cost $25 EACH. So Debbie and I spent $50 each day just to eat breakfast! Today, we both ate for just over $15 TOGETHER. Honolulu is more touristy than Maui. We are staying right across the street from Waikiki Beach - and if you look really close, you can actually see the sand between the bodies. Debbie and I just got back from a walk and for some reason, I kept hearing Jimmy Buffett sing "Margaritaville" - perhaps it was the "tourists covered with oil" that triggered the memory. Anyway, it's going to be quite a different experience. Here are a couple of images from our "lanai" (for those of you who have forgotten or just checked in, that's a Hawaiian porch).

We did go to the International House of Prayer of Honolulu last night (Thursday) and had a great and refreshing experience. We met some great folks who have been going hard after prayer for a couple of years now. They are small in number but mighty in Spirit. A few of them have been to KC and one, Regan (not sure of spelling), the pastor/leader of the group plans to come to KC for a year beginning in about 4 weeks. He told me he plans on recruiting, so you might want to begin now praying about joining him in a year to help with the IHOP Honolulu! Well, Debbie is trying to get me to become one of those "tourists covered with oil" so I'll write more later!
