I went to a UNITE meeting at New Birth Church in Lithonia.  There is a big resource of man power there.  My prayer is that they’ll let us help them mobilize it.

Set up the final locations for my weekend teams.

Miles is feeling better.  Glad for that.

Working on uploading the higher resolution Video Seminar to our Google Video site.

Pretty bad pain in my temple/ear/jaw area.  I don’t consider myself to have a high tolerance to pain. I think deep inside I’m a big baby.  I try to avoid pain.

Doesn’t eveybody?

Peace.

Ashley and I went back to Marietta to check on our Team at Spring Chase. They were doing great! Their youth director, Austin Allridge, is a great guy and I knew they’d do fine. We shot lots of pix and video for the web site.

We went to Northlake Mall to look for books and to pick up a soldering iron so I could fix the intercom system at FBC Doraville. I picked up the mail and checked on my plants.

Came home and worked on email/admin stuff.

In the middle of my email work I got a call from Ashley that said that her boyfriend Miles had fainted in the parking lot. He was taken to the ER in an ambulance. I spent a couple of hours at the hospital with his family and Ashley. She’s with him now. He got his face banged up a bit and whacked his knee pretty hard. He still has to have an EKG and a CAT scan to make sure he’s ok and try and figure out why he passed out. I reckon he was just really tired and the heat got to him. Sure hope that’s all it is.

The kid’s like a son to me. He’s a sweet ol’ boy. Sure didn’t like to see him beat up.

Lord, we ask a blessing on Miles. Protect him, guide the doctors. We bind the evil one any kind of spirit of fear or apprehension. AMEN.

Thanks for praying for him.

Today I experienced Greater Faith church in Duluth.  Two of my favorite partners are Pastors Robert and Shelita Carter.  They have been faithful, diligent and experienced mission directors.  I’m glad that they’re working with Ashley in Kensington Station.  It was a special service as they were bringing in Shelita Carter as Co-Pastor and ordaining several ministers and decans.  They were rocking!

Ashley and I went to First Baptist Church in Marietta this afternoon and evening.  I briefed their youth group on how to get kids to their Backyard Bible Club. Then we went over to Preston Chase and actually showed them how to round up people.

I helped take care of my mother in law this evening.  It’s just about drive you crazy.  She’s not comfortable and so she constantly wants to be shifted from the bed, to the chair, to the bed, the chair . . . .you get the picture.  I try and tell her, “Mama, you’re just not gonna be comfortable. No matter where you go, you’re not gonna feel great.”  Dem’s hard words.

I need to go check on her.

Peace.

Ashley and went to the team meeting at Kensington Station this morning.  We had a great talk with the manager Carlos as well as people from three local churches:  Crossroads, Breaking Free and Greater Faith.  Ashley made a presentation about the after school program.

I finished compressing all the Video Seminar DVDs and sent them on to my partners at Axcess Connection.  They’re the guys helping us with the E-Learnng project.

Ashley and I also worked on our refrigerator project.  We’ll decorate these clip magnents with our picture.  Then each month we’ll have a postcard that can be added to the clip on your fridge.  I think it’ll work great!  Ashley’s working on the template for our cards.

I took care of my mother in law for a few hours this afternoon.

Kathy and I hiked up most of Stone Mountain.  Cool day.

I’m uploading the higher resolution Video Seminar to our Google Video web site.  Jesse just about has the Video Seminar page completed.  Groovy!

Peace.

Still working on encoding the video into an AVI format.  Once it’s done I’ll send the DVDs over to Jason’s business so we can start working with it on line.

Jesse is reformatting his computer.  We looked for RAM for his computer.  I think he’s going to get it on line.

Ran 4 miles.

Watching Kevin Costner in the Guardian.  Just an ok movie.

Peace.

Thursday, May 31

Had a meeting with a good buddy of mine Jason Lemming.  We worked together for years at Perimeter Church.  We set up the big summer program “Goldrush” together.

He’s doing IT work in setting up different E-Learning systems over the internet.  I’m working on coding my video seminar into AVI files that their computer can read and reproduce.  I think it’ll be cutting edge technology.
