Had a fun time today!

Got up really early (if it’s dark, it’s early!).  I spoke at my Dr. Carl Barrington’s missions class at Providence Christian Academy.

I went at those kids full blast for two 90 minute sessions.  Wow.  My voice was whipped after that!

The class was responsive and hopefully we’ll have some of them get engaged at the mission.

Usually, Thursday is my favorite day of the week because Ashley and Jesse roll with me.  Didn’t make them get up and go with me this morning. Too early.

After Providence, I went to Goodwill to pick up some new T-shirts.  Got some pretty cool ones, including one with the Taj Mahal.  Groovy, baby.

Then to FBC Doraville to meet with Marco Solano from Stonemill Church (I consider him my older brother), Mario Amoretti (the youth director from Sunrise BC’s Spanish congregation, and Eduardo and Sheila Zamora (our missionaries living at Huntington Ridge.) 

We had a fun lunch and I enjoyed getting these folks to know each other a little better.

A lot of what I do is networking field operatives.  I can tell right quick if a person really wants to work or just wants to talk.  It’s valuable to get the doers together and the talkers away from my team. We don’t have time to just talk.  So many people equate talking about the problem with DOING something about the problem! Drives me crazy.

We also loaded Eduardo up with a bunch of stuff that we can give away to the people who come to the party on Saturday at Huntington Ridge. 

I hate storing stuff.  Much rather give it away and tell them about Jesus.

Mario and I spent some extra time together talking about missions and helping clarify how he can get his church involved in the mission near his church in Lawrenceville.  He’s a super excited fellow.  We get along GREAT!

Mario also came over to Azalea to help with the kids at the mission. 

Just seeing what I do helped him to catch a vision for what’s possible over at Olde Salem.

Came home, got Kathy and we went to watch the sun set in the El Torerro’s parking lot in Stone Mountain.  It was veddy, veddy beautiful.

Just finished watching Burn Notice, my favorite show.  GREAT season finale! Smooth is smooth, baby.
