I’ve been looking forward to this day for weeks! Today I got to hang out with Pastor Museli Ngonga of Fountain of Life Church on Canton Road in Marietta.

Museli is from Kenya! In fact most of his church is Kenyan. So I got to speak some Swahili. Amen!

We had a good turnout at the Outreach Event at Concept 21 Delk in Marietta.

We served food, had a rap band, played with balloon animals.

Fun time!

My back is still sore from the digging and the lifting weights.

I’ve been reviving some of my old “lost” work. These documents were in a box somewhere and I recently found them. My book “Scribes” was in a neighbor’s attic for years. He bought the house two years ago.

I have some pretty cool stuff that I wrote while living in Kenya: N the Loop.

Plus my Master’s Dissertation, a novel called “Scribes–the Lord’s Dog.”

And on a more technical note, I found my document that I wrote in 1993 while working at WTOC-TV. It’s a field guide to shooting news. If any of you guys are interested in working in the news business it’d be worth your while to check it out.

So after my day of outreach, I come home to baby a scanner that is using OCR software to slowly get my old hard copy books into a digital format. It’s a huge project.

I know it sounds weird, but I’ve nearly been killed four times. I just have this feeling that my life will end suddenly. I feel an urgency to leave something behind.
