Today is the five year anniversary of my podcast Verbal Surgery! I’ve recorded over 300 episodes and have had over 50,000 downloads! My twitter feed is also part of the VS project. Over 6,000 proverbs and over 80,000 followers. I think it’s some of my best work.Fun!

I had a fun morning and lunch with Pastor Ben Lehman. I’ve enjoyed going to his church and listening to him preach. He’s one of the few people I think is as intense as me!

I had a list of ideas for outreach for him. The President of my Board suggested that I help a local church with outreach as a bivocational position. This works even better as they gave me a large donation to help me with finances and I can help them in between the odd work schedule that I have.

Filled up with gas.

Met up with Ashley in the International Village.

We did all the shopping for the outreach with Chestnut Mountain Church this Saturday. While we’re in the Dollar Tree, we split up the goodies into 5 bags for the teams to take with them. Each has 36 drinks, 2 packs of cookies, a pack of sidewalk chalk, two packs of Easter eggs, a pack of permanent markers, a coloring book, big box of crayons, three pack of bubbles and a long jump rope (that I’ll get tomorrow.)

I came up with an idea for the craft and the story. We shop at the Dollar Tree and see what they have that can be used. Lots of Easter egg stuff. So the kids will decorate an egg for themselves. We’ll talk about how everyone is EGGceptional and EGGcellent! And how God can change just a little egg into a beautiful, new creation!

Then to work at the mission with the kids. Always fun.

We had to leave a little early tonight because Kathy and I had a meeting with a lawyer at our house to sign the final papers for our house refinancing!

Our interest rate is now down to 4% which is HALF what it was. I’m pretty excited about that.

Ashley and Miles came over to sign the paper as a witness.

Kathy and I both are feeling a little bit under the weather. Stuffy nose, scratchy throat and tired. Early to bed!

Admin duties now.

I like these big vultures.
