\nShe’ll probably transfer to Georgia State afterward.\u00a0 Kathy and I are sure proud of her!<\/p>\n

You may be missing Ashley’s blog.\u00a0 I know I do!\u00a0 She’s working on a new website.\u00a0 We’ve had some technical issues with the registration company that we’re still working through.<\/p>\n

I spent the afternoon in Clarkston–the refugee center of the whole Southeast!\u00a0 It astonishes me how many different countries are represented.\u00a0 Today I met people from Nepal, Afghanistan, Burundi, Somalia, Eritrea and Mexico!

I had a meeting with my partners from Total Grace church: Pastor Myrtle Smalls and her partner Sherry.\u00a0 I asked Bennett Ekandem to also come over to help us with the planning.\u00a0 We’ll be doing a great Outreach Event at Krystopher Woods on August 16th.\u00a0 We’ll host a soccer tournament, have balloons and face painting and feed everone.<\/p>\n

It was great to hang out with Bennett. He really is one of my favorites.\u00a0 He’s lost a lot of weight and looks great!<\/p>\n

Just finished running four miles.\u00a0 It’s been so hot I decided to wait until nearly dark.\u00a0 It was a lot more tolerable.\u00a0 I’ve had times when I’ve been running in the last week or so that it was so hot that I started thinking about something my Daddy used to tell me.\u00a0 This saying usually came up when we were talking about spicy food, especially with a lot of jalepenos.\u00a0 He’d say, “Kill ya or cure ya!”\u00a0 In this heat, I wonder if I’m coming closer to the killing part than the curing part.<\/p>\n

No matter how old I get (and I’m 50!), I’ll always be my Mama’s little boy.\u00a0 She worries about me running in this heat.\u00a0 So Mom, believe me, if it gets too hot I’ll find some shade or walk, ok?\u00a0 It was a beautiful sunset to watch as I ran.

Just about finished unpacking!\u00a0 I have to go through every box, figure out where to put stuff, whether to throw it away, store it or use it.
