I had a fun day today!

I started out in Alpharetta at the North American Mission Board where I did my seminar on how to raise up and mobilize volunteers.  They were an enthusiastic group!

My computer is still in the shop and Ashley’s computer is not compressing pictures properly, so alas, no pix tonight!  Bahd luck.  I hope to pick it up tomorrow.

After my presentation at NAMB I went to all six of the missions where my team from Agricola, Mississippi was working.  They did a FANTASTIC job on the project at Wynscape.  Absolutely flabbergasting the amount of work they got done!  They collected about 200 bags of trash from that location.  After the team left I saw the Dekalb County Sanitation people come in with a big trash truck that had this immense mechanical arm pick up and dump all those bags.  Super cool pix. 

They also did a great job getting the old apartment at Huntington Ridge ready for the new occupants.  Bill Hickey will probably have to finish some odds and ends over there.

In the afternoon I went around the 6 missions and shot video and pictures for the team.  Ashley also took pictures of the service projects since I was in Alpharetta.  Sure is great to have a partner I can depend on.  Ashley rocks!

I had a good conversation with Jesse’s doctor, Dr. Byron Evans.  He seems like a really knowledgeable fellow who can help Jesse.  They’re still working on getting the correct dosage for him.  I had mentioned that he seemed really sleepy.  They plan on giving him his meds at night to help with that problem.  I look forward to seeing him tomorrow night.

I was pretty stressed out after such a long day of driving–put in nearly 150 miles today.  Got home and went straight out on a 4 mile run.  Felt great.

This evening we took Kevin Lamb and his family along with the Mayfields out to Longhorn Steak House.  It was delicious and the company was really fun.  They are two of my very favorite families!  We’re so lucky to be living in such a friendly, loving, family environment.  I think living with the Lambs has been a critical part of my therapy.  If we had been living in a hotel instead I don’t think I would have nearly recovered as rapidly.  Pray for their family!  It ain’t easy putting up with ME!

Somehow I felt like I heard a chorus of “Amens!” out there . . . .

Love you guys!
