Bill Hickey and I kept seeing things that needed to be worked on.  Best to get the stuff done now while we have the help!<\/p>\n<p>I had fun at the mission at Azalea today.  It&#8217;s great to see all the smiling faces. I did a &#8220;Candy throw&#8221; which is my version of throwing bread to ducks&#8211;except they&#8217;re kids.  Listen, if someone was throwing free Snicker bars in my direction I&#8217;d lunge for them too!<\/p>\n<p>I think most of you have heard us talk about Ashley&#8217;s boyfriend Miles.  His sister Roxy is in the hospital now dilated to 4 cm trying to have a baby.  Pray that the delivery will go well.  I thank God I don&#8217;t have to have babies!<\/p>\n<p>Pray also for my Dad&#8217;s Associate Pastor George Simms.  He&#8217;s still SO sick and in the hospital in Austin.  God is still in the miracle working business&#8211;I&#8217;m living proof of that!<\/p>\n<p>Kathy and I had fun this evening.  I ran a 4 mile loop racing after her bike.  I did pretty good going uphill, but those down hills she&#8217;d just shoot on by!  It was still fun.  Absolutely fantastic weather!<\/p>\n<p>I heard a couple of days ago that McAllen, Texas (where one of my best friends lives near the border of Mexico) had 100 degree weather already! Ay caramba!<\/p>\n<p>Pray that we can get Jesse bonded out and into Peachford Hospital this week.  It&#8217;s such a burden on me.  I can&#8217;t sleep well thinking of him in that cell.  I think I finally crashed out around 2am.  I was working at my computer till after 1am.  Then my brain is like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going and going and going.  Pray that I will rest.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I took a single Tylenol today.  That&#8217;s progress!  I have really suffered with headaches the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Love you guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was great to see the team from Salado, Texas in action today.
