I&#8217;ve really missed hanging out with him.  It was good to get together.  We talked about our work and how we generate interns to staff our mission sites.  It&#8217;s a great system and gives young people a chance to really make a difference and do missions.  Google Youth Outreach United for more info!<\/p>\n<p>I know I&#8217;ve talked to you about my brothers Tito and Lester Ruiz.  I had a blast jamming with them.  Lester was awesome on the drums and Tito was wailing on the keyboards and had terrific vocals.  We worked up several new songs.  I thought we sounded great.  I put my guitar in the stand and then caught my foot in the guitar cord.  It pulled the guitar forward and cracked the neck.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/254324652_QnfUN-M.jpg\" alt=\"gtr1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/254325003_mBtx4-M.jpg\" alt=\"gtr2\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There have been times in my life if I had seen that happen I would have done the complete freak out.  I was just like, &#8220;Yeah, it cracked.  I&#8217;ll get it fixed.&#8221;  NBD. My guitar repair guy is John Marshall of the Fret Shop.  He runs a school for aspiring luthiers.  These guys are world class.  Literally.  Last guy I met over there was from S. Africa.  So I know my guitar is going to come out ok.<\/p>\n<p>Checked the kids at the mission.  Helped Mustek figure out ratios. I also alerted Jouvens that we have a team from Perimeter Christian School coming to help clean up the mission Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>From Azalea I met up with Ashley and we went to Taco Prisa.  I dig their Huevos Rancheros&#8211;with the salsa verde, baby!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/2100175_Y6DJk-M-1.jpg\" alt=\"tco1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then over to Peachtree Corners Baptist Church where Ashley and I met with their Missions Committee.  They are some of my favorites.  I shared with them a strategy for  mobilizing volunteers and Ashley talked with them about Kensington Station.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/254276985_zUHA2-M.jpg\" alt=\"pcbc1\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/254277003_J2mrA-M.jpg\" alt=\"pcbc2\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/254277026_7BKY7-M.jpg\" alt=\"pcbc3\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/254277050_tZvZi-M.jpg\" alt=\"pcbc5\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a fun lunch with Drew Grubbs today.
