Had a fun day today!

Started out going to Lowes to pick up a tarp. 

I’m moving my plants inside tomorrow and need to have something on the carpet so nothing gets messed up.  I have a lot of plants.  It’s cool when they come inside cuz it’s kind of like a jungle!

Unfortunately, the inside jungle also includes rodents trying to escape the cold.  I usually have to put out some glue traps to make sure no rats or mice decide to call my house “home.”

I had lunch with Jerry Counselman today.  He’s one of my favorite missionary partners.  I’m praying that he’ll get more involved with our refugee population in Clarkston.

Spent some time at my office at FBC Doraville.  Worked on email and calls for a couple of hours.

The group of ethnic Pastors from N. Carolina came to my office at about 4pm.  I had a briefing with them where I “took them to Cambodia.” Maybe you’ve heard me give that presentation?

I took them over to check out the folks at the mission at Azalea.  It was really cool to see how well they interacted with my people. I know they’re doing a great job back home!


We made a stop at Carniceria Hispana #1, where I showed them a typical Mexican tienda–store.  It’s fun to see them gawk at the weird stuff.

Then we made our way over to Clarkston and Willow Branch apartments to have a chat with my partner Bennett Ekandem. He did a great job sharing his story with the pastors.

For a special treat we went out to eat to finish the day at Cafe Istanbul. One of my favorites!

Now I’m home working on email again. I’m enjoying watching the “World’s Most Difficult Race” about the Iditarod 1,000 miles of frozen Alaskan wasteland.

Thursday, Kathy and I are headed out of town for some rest. We’ll be back on Sunday. I sure am looking forward to that!
