A little over 1/2″ of rain yesterday.

Sad news this morning. I got various texts and voice mail that my dear brother Bayo Otiti had died this morning.

I still don’t have the exact cause, but I think it was probably a complication due to the surgery he had related to his eye. I know he’s in a better place. I felt happy that his last years working with us were the “happiest in my life.” It’s great to see someone enjoy ministry as much as he did. And when his wife came to join him in ministry his life really seemed to be complete.

Met up with Ashley and Jesse for lunch.

I bought Ashley a piece of cake to take home.

Always good. We went to the Dollar Tree to pick up supplies for the Outreach Event with Crosspoint church tomorrow.

I love my children!

Then went to Roopville Road Baptist Church this evening for the initial night of the conference.


It’s about a hour and a half away from my house. Pretty long drive. Good night and lots of good contacts.

Good to meet Dan Dockery, he’s the Associational Missionary.

Haven’t felt well today. Been coughing. Voice is really rough. Today marks 45 days straight of work with two days off. Those two days I was sick and had a bad back.

Going to rest early this evening.

We have to meet the team at 9:30am tomorrow morning. Briefing and outreach, then drive back to Roopville for the conference Saturday. I’ll spend the night at a family’s house tomorrow, that’s always kind of marginal sleeping. Then multiple services on Sunday including Sunday evening. Hardly a restful time.

Always something interesting to see.

Close parking may be my only perk.
