This morning I woke up thinking I’d be with a pastor friend of mine from Conyers all day long.  He called to let me know he’d have to reschedule because of a death in his congregation.

Instead I did lunch with Cathy, Kelly and Ruthie–the leaders of the Refugee Sewing Society.  Jesse and I also met with Chuck Vogt one of the leaders from In Town Community Church interested in missions.

It was fun to help figure out how the RSS will work.  And I really do think it’ll work!

Beginnings are always the hardest.  If the foundations aren’t set up correctly, the end result can be a disaster.  I’m proud that the women are being especially careful as the ministry progresses.

Also enjoyed seeing the Palmers new house.  Lots of construction going on there.  Reminded me of all the work that was done on our house and how long it took to get it all done—5 months!

Almost exactly a year since my son had his breakdown.  It’s wonderful to see how God is using him now!

In my One Year Bible today I had a note that my Aunt Betty Cummins (Cathy Palmer’s mother) died 5 years ago today. 

Sure do miss her!  I know she’d be SO proud of what her daughter is doing now! (Although being a best selling author ain’t bad!)

Started a Face Book page last week.  I can’t believe how these friends from way back in High School day have been contacting me!  What a blast from the past!  One of my dearest friends started a page called the Sycamore Tree which was what our Youth House was called at our church at FBC Georgetown.  Good days.  Very formative for me!

Had a great visit with my treasurer Jon Paul tonight.  That guy is always an inspiration to me.  My favorite line from him is, “The only difference between my job and working with Whirlwind is 4 zeros at the end!)  He deals with big bucks!  Actually, he’s working with servers, systems and stuff WAY to complicated for me to figure out.

Whenever I get tired, I think of the hours that Jon works and I feel like I’ve got it pretty good!

Kathy is sick.  Running a fever. 

She’s not good at being sick.  “I wanted to ride around the mountain today.”  “Honey, you’re sick.  You’re not supposed to ride 5 miles when you’re sick.”  “I know . . . ”  Then she gets this pouty look on her face like she’s so disappointed.  Pray for her.
