Went to Marietta this morning to work with partners at FBC Marietta figure out the logistics for the youth group’s Summer Missions experience. We’ll host around 40 kids in four missions for about 6 days. Should be a great time!

Talked to office staff at Glenbrooke about the status of the mission there. Still no solid decision. Hard for me to understand.

Bought my tickets to go to Texas next month. I’ll be gone for a week to speak at a conference outside of San Antonio and at FBC Georgetown. It’ll be a good time to also renew relationships with the folks at my Dad’s church. They’re big supporters of our work!

Also had a pre-site visit with two partners from Pine Lake, MS. I think this team is going to do a terrific job for us. I had originally planned on starting new work in the S. Atlanta area specifically for them, but after yesterday I just don’t feel comfortable with that. Bottom line there are no churches to plug any converts into. Few if any leaders in the area. Not a good recipe for success. They told me today that it wasn’t a big deal for them to drive the bus the 25 minutes to come to the International Village area. I think they’ll have a much better experience up there.

Went to Azalea after working on my admin work at FBC Doraville. Went to the Post Office to get the stamps for this month’s mailout. Also got the rest of the supplies I needed from Office Depot. The kids at the mission are always good about helping me do all the labels and stamps.

My partner Paul Reynolds is having a challenge with his brother. He may be suicidal. It was so sad talking to Paul about the situation. Pray for the family.

Ran 4 miles and worked out on weights when I got home.

K and I enjoyed watching House on TV and then on DVD. Pray for Kathy’s mom, Nell. She’s not doing very well. Hard on all of us.
