Worked on my email this morning. Went over my notes for the conference I’ll be speaking at in Douglasville tomorrow morning. I’ll also be doing some field training at an apartment complex near by.

I took care of K’s mom today. She went with me to the bookstore in Snellville. I’m doing research on camera filters for my video camera. I go and read all the books on the topic then make my decision as to what to get and where. My mother in law sat in the religious book section. Do you like book stores? Where do you head for first in the mall?

I was hoping to go by Wolf Camera to pick up the 30 mm polarizing filter I need, but they were out of business and had moved. Bahd luck.

Came home and watched “Kicking and Screaming” on DVD with K and her mom.

Went for a 4 mile run.

April 19, 2007

Went to the Faith Based Alliance meeting today at FBC Clarkston. The main topic was the Separation of Church and State—specifically in regards to the schools. We were interested in how it relates to after school programs on school campus. All in all I found it pretty depressing how our schools have nearly NO Chrisitian perspective any more. Very sad to me. I did tell the people there that we have after school programs off of school campus and we do NOT have to separate the church from state. We can tell the kids all about Jesus as much as we want.

Later we had a meeting with Barb Newman from Dunwoody Baptist Church and Tim Isaacson from Open Table Church. I wouldn’t be here in Atlanta if it wasn’t for DBC. I owe them a large debt of thanks. We hope to have a more agressive partnership in the future.

I went on to Doraville to work on admin stuff and then talk with Jason Pope–the director of the mission at Hamptons at Lenox. He’ll probably be shifting his ministry to an apartment in the S. Atlanta area soon near to the church where he’s a member. Works for me! He’s part of the Salvation Army.

Came home and paid for my car. Timing belt, water pump, hoses, radiator flush, oil change. All preventative maintenance. Cost over $1,200 when it was all said and done. Gotta do what you gotta do. The Chrysler has been a real work horse and I’ve found if you keep up with these cars they do really well, but if they over heat–you’re doomed.

K and I watched the last of the first season of House this evening.
