Spent most of the day at the Georgia Baptist Convention building. Has a big (like HUGE) cross that’s sunk into the middle of a lake. Couldn’t really figure that one out. From the road you can only see just the tip of it.<\/p>\n
An incredible, and I’m sure incredibly expensive, building. What a waste of SBC funds. At least IMHO.<\/p>\n
We had a get together of the Mission Service Corps folks in Georgia. I had four other people on my team there. Six if you include a new couple that I’ll be working with in Forest Park. We were definitely the Wild Bunch. Maybe it was just me. . . .<\/p>\n
I am definitely one loud puppy.<\/p>\n
I guess it’s true what my wife says, “I live to hear myself talk.”<\/p>\n
C’est la vie, baby.<\/p>\n
Mike Riggins spoke in two sessions and was the main reason our team went. He’s been in charge of MSC for years and is now in charge of all NAMB personnel. I think he’s a great guy. I appreciate his ministry to us SO much.<\/p>\n
After the meeting we shot back to Clarkston\/Willow Branch. Terry Earl and I talked about her new ministry working with pre-k kids and their moms at their homes. Bennett is going to help get that set up. I’m expecting great things from Terry. She’s uniquely gifted for that ministry and is terrific with women\/children in particular.<\/p>\n
Then over to Azalea to help my kids with their homework. Met a couple of new moms from Bangladesh. I’m teaching one of them English. We’ll see how that goes. Hello, my name is Selma Akther Chowdury. Chowdury is like the Bengali version of Jones.<\/p>\n
Watched Borat with Kathy this evening. I thought it was pretty funny, but definitely not for everyone.<\/p>\n
Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
