Went into Chamblee this afternoon to check on my team at Huntington Creek. They were doing great!

My goal was to go by all three locations, but I got a call from a partner who needed supplies for a block party this weekend, so I had to go to the grocery store instead of seeing them all. Bahd luck.

Got all the supplies and dropped them off at FBC Doraville which is where I met the President of our board at Whirlwind Missions: Dr. Carl Barrington. I’ve known Carl for over 20 years and went to W. Africa with him and and wife Pat in 2007.

Carl took me over to see the Italian team play the Mexican team at the Georgia Dome. It was the largest soccer game ever held in our city. Estimated about 35,000 people came to the game! I was pulling for the Mexicans–and they 2-1. Awesome. This picture was near the start of the game and a lot more people showed up!

It was beautiful to walk downtown as it was getting dark. The missing windows from this building came from the tornado that hit downtown Atlanta last year.

Kathy and I are headed out of town for a few days. Sure am looking forward to some time off. I looked at my travel notebook, and I think I’ve had about 4 days off in the last 28. Gotta take a break when it gets a little slower.

This week was my final week of the Summer Teams! Had some great ones! But I am glad to get back to “normal.” Whatever that is!
