I was in the Norcross area today.

I met with Debra the manager at Hampton Woods today.

I told her about FBC Atlanta and the block party we wanted to do at her complex. She’s a prayer up woman and was all for the idea!  I also have my partner Carlos Salaverria who is bringing five families from his church to mingle with the residents.  This is EXACTLY the strategy I’m trying to accelerate.  We can let the white folks come over and bring all the stuff and have games for the kids and we can have the Spanish families interacting with the residents inviting them to their church!

Also had some time with my partner Keith Harrell.

He’s doing a great job at Villa Nueva, in a very tough location.  We’ve had difficulty getting volunteers to help us over there.  We were trying to start an After School program, but kids didn’t seem to need the help.  So now we’re trying a music option.  I’m going to buy a couple of guitars tomorrow and Keith can start teaching residents how to play!  We’ll also probably set up a soccer tournament for the residents.

Pray for our missions.  Our leaders are getting tired.  It’s hard to stay the course year after year.

Kathy rode about 15 miles on her bike today!  She rode from our house to Kensington Statn in Avondale and got back to Stone Mountain.  I went to pick her up because it was dark and dangerous.

We ate at Waffle House on our way home.

It reminded me of how shocked people from out of state are about Waffle Houses.  They can’t believe how MANY there are.  The whole time my Dad was here from Texas he’d say, “There’s a Waffle House”  A minute later. . . . . “There’s another Waffle House.”  We do have a plethora of them.

After we ate at Waffle House, I saw this cool Yamaha motorcycle. I liked the way the motor was lit up.

I’m working on newsletters.  I’ll get the kids to help me do the labels tomorrow.

Peace.
