Full speed ahead day, baby!

Started out early finished up my newsletters. Got them in the post before noon.

Went to Kroger to make the order for the big event at Kensington Station on April 7th. Picked out one of every item I needed, they scan it in, then I tell them how many I need of each item. It’ll be ready for me to pick up the morning of April 7th. Mainly I needed to make sure that they have the hotdogs and buns ready. No way they’d have enough for 400 people.

Then over to Walmart to buy the candy I need for the event. I picked up $164 worth of sugar sweet goodness. Kids ought to be mighty hyped up after that!

Enjoyed lunch with Bennett Ekandem. We talked about one of our new partners, Milkano. He’s a Ethiopian pastor in the Clarkston area. We’re helping set him up with about 10 computers so he can teach his congregation–plus use it as an outreach tool. Bennett also supplied him with Bibles and chairs. We’ll take equipment from Springchase which we’ll be moving out of on Friday over there too.

Dropped off some paperwork for Jesse at Dekalb Tech for his GED class. His home schooling is coming along really well. Take a look at his work at aeokos.org. He’s already programming and some of his stuff is really popular–particularly VoteGrabber. He’s a clever lad. I like his TILT section—Things I Learned Today.

J and I spent a couple of hours together this evening. He always teaches me something or helps me improve our web site. Ever heard of Google Analytics? It’s a site analyzing program. Pretty cool. We average over 100 visitors a day at www.whirlwindmissions.org. This blog gets over 800 views a month.

J helped me embed our YouTube video this evening. He taught me how to do it at least. So that way if you want to hear me talk about what’s going on rather than just read it all you have to do is push PLAY. So GO for it!

After lunch I had a meeting with Amy Turner a leader in the Singles SS class at FBC Duluth. Her class is going to do an Easter Outreach at WestWood apartments. Amy is also the Choir Director for Meadowcreek HS. Many of her students come from the WestWood area. I used to really dig Choir in HS. I went All State in solo/ensemble in Texas. Sure seems like a LONG time ago. But I still like to sing.

Also worked with the kids at Azalea. Talked with Jimmy about what his brothers had said about him. He didn’t deny anything–just said it was because they “teased him.” Still made me really sad.

Peace.
