Dearest cousins,

Life is an adventure. That, for sure, doesn't change whether I'm sitting by a campfire singing "The Sound of Music" with my best friends in the world, or standing onstage at your neighborhood Christian music festival. Also with my best friends in the world.

Our adventures took us to China. And back again. And let me tell you, cousins, it's not worth missing. Imagine if there was one child God wanted you to spend a week with, and you didn't go. Or one child God wanted your family to adopt, and you didn't do it? Maybe you can't imagine. I can't either. What would my life be like if these three kids (who are right now running around drawing pictures for me) were in an orphanage? If you're not convinced God's calling you to adopt, at least go to China and see for yourself. (Go to www.bringmehope.org to find out how.)

When we got back, my friends and I wrote down lists of stuff we want to do to glorify God. And if what we wrote down comes true, trust me, it only gets better from here. Pray for us, cousins, and wherever we go, you'll be part of the family.

What family, you ask? Well see, my best friends. . .they also happen to be my siblings. The McCanns. I can't wait to see what adventures God has for us in the year ahead. It's easy to be a McCann. We're just God's children. Nine people out to prove how cool families can be when they follow God's plan.
So join the family. Come along for the ride.
It's an adventure.
