Friday morning I enjoyed resting. I was really tired after working at the missions all day and then speaking in Jonesboro. Didn’t get home till after 10pm. Trying to rest my voice which is already sounding pretty rough.

Made phone calls to partners at Ashford Apartments and Columns at Bentley Manor. I’m trying to get Ashford to let us have teams there. Ashley did a great job laying the ground work!

I’m trying to ramp up work at Bentley Manor again.

I’m hoping to get ESL classes there. Called the manager and then sent them an email with a ESL flyer in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Most of the residents are Brazilian.

Went for a 5.14 mile run. Getting warm around here! Enjoyed the beautiful flowers.

This tree would make a great sermon illustration.

I thought this sap was interesting.

Enjoyed a fun lunch with Jesse.

He’s one of the best people I know! Never too much Jesse!

The cheesecake I got there may have been one of the best I’ve ever had!

After lunch, we stopped by Goodwill for me to check on tshirts and then to a thrift store to look at antiques. I liked this little Arab man.

As you know, I love flowers and plants.

I’ve been working on getting into Venus flytraps again. Yesterday, I mixed up the special soil and got the cups ready to plant them in.



Silica sand.

Final mixture.




The Styrofoam cups are to help insulate the roots.

Kathy has been at her Aunt Orene’s house for the last two nights taking care of her after her surgery. Sure was glad to have her back home! We watched Saving Mr. Banks together then some episodes of the Middle.
