Rainy day today.  Got some water soaking into my basement.  Gotta figure that out.

I turned 50 years old this year!  In honor of that I’ve been working a series of my favorite stories on short videos.  This afternoon I recorded 17 new ones!  Now I have to edit, add graphics, compress and upload them!  It’s a labor of love.  Over time I’ll include them in this blog for your viewing pleasure!

Took my birds outside to enjoy the air.

Normally, they fly around my room. I put them in the cage when I take them to visit their relatives!

Spent an hour at the Barnes and Nobles bookstore.  I always head for the Marketing and the Leadership sections.  Today I bought a little book called Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath.  Looking forward to reading through that.

Went to the library to find more information on becoming a Firefighter for Miguel.  Called him and told him what I’d found out.  Also talked to Jason Sullivan, who had applied for that job.  It’s SUPER hard to get in.  Jason made it sound like Miguel really needed to get some EMT training before he applied.

Caught up with Ian this afternoon.  I helped him get a van from Enterprise to move the rest of his stuff down from Chicago.

The van was brand new, only 200 miles on it! Cleanest I’ve ever seen!
He’ll be picking up his brother from the airport as well.  My prayer is that his brother Erik will stay and help us do missions here, too!  Ian came over to our house so I could get him an air mattress and a music player that he could use with his ipod, since the van only has a radio.

Kathy, Jesse and I took him out to eat at El Torreros before he left for Chicago.  Pray that he has a safe trip!

I was supposed to have two Outreach Events tomorrow.  They’ve been postponed because of weather.  Made sense to me.  It’s nearly impossible to get people to come outside when it’s raining.  Even crazy kids aren’t that dumb!

Looking forward to editing the video from Story Tim!
