Think about it. 44 locations. 3 big buses. Multiple vans. Buses can’t take right turns well. Keep each bus as close to the 8 locations the cover as possible.

Make maps and options over and over again trying to figure out how’s the best way to cover the locations effectively, and which locations should we cover at all?

Perhaps there are five good locations in one area, should you add more or make the bus drive an extra 20 minutes?

These are just a few of the logistic questions I deal with when I have teams in town.

I thought I needed to cover 26 locations. Turned out to be 34!

I think I have it almost figured out. I went by two new properties today to verify with managers that the team can do a Back Yard Bible Club there. They’ll get back with me on Tuesday.

I have about eight other locations that I need to verify. Most of the missions where I have teams coming will be no problem, they host teams all the time. Others, not so much.

Takes hours to figure all this stuff out, and then you have to physically go to a bunch of them to look managers in the eye and convince them that it’s a great idea for them to host all these super fired up, evangelicals!

I went by Victory Trails and Southern Woods to start new work.

Fact of the matter is, it IS a good idea!

I took J and K to Zaxby’s for lunch. While we were there Kathy saw one of her kids from Clarkston, Senaud! GREAT to see old friends grown up.

Jesse gave me some good news today. He put in an order for his ol’ Dad to get an iPad! WOW! I was stunned. I ran around the parking lot jumping up and down so he knew I was properly pleased.

We also went shopping for groceries.

I’m enjoying watching some TV with Kathy now. I’m doing homework while she’s making us some sandwiches.

I thought this sticker was cool.

I liked this dog’s big ol’ tongue.
