This morning I had a meeting with two of my favorite partners, Kevin Riley and Bennett Ekandem in Clarkston.\u00a0 We got together with Ricky Thrasher who is the Community Minister for the Georgia Baptist Convention.\u00a0
\n\"r\"
\n Ricky wanted to know more about what we’re doing in Clarkston and how he might be able to help.\u00a0 We shared with him a few things and I pray that we might be able to help him in the future.\u00a0 I’m especially interested in a church he mentioned in Gainesville.<\/p>\n

I met Marco Allen for lunch at Perimeter Mall.\u00a0
\n\"m\"
\nHe’s the team leader for the group coming from First Baptist Atlanta in June.\u00a0 This will be the first time they’ve organized a short term mission trip in our area.\u00a0 It was a productive time and I pray that many people will be able to participate.<\/p>\n

Went by Huntington Creek to check on the Norths.\u00a0 It was their first night at the mission at Huntington Creek last night.\u00a0
\n\"i\"
\n Everything went fine!\u00a0 They had one of the local police officers come by there yesterday and was shocked that there was anyone living on site.\u00a0 I was glad that he didn’t totally scare them off.\u00a0 The cops can really come on strong sometimes.\u00a0 I know they’ve tried to scare me about the dangers of where we’re working plenty of times.\u00a0 They’ll ask me, “What kind of weapon are you carrying when you go there?”\u00a0 When I answer, “The Bible,” they normally get a confused look on their faces.\u00a0 But it’s the truth.\u00a0 Our God is a shield around us!<\/p>\n

Met up with David and Beverly from Briarcliff BC this afternoon at Azalea.\u00a0
\n\"d\"
\nThey’ll be bringing their youth group over on February 6th.\u00a0 I showed them around the complex and introduced them to a bunch of my kids.\u00a0 The kids were just going flat crazy, racing around and around the mission.\u00a0 I’d send them out one door, they’d run around the building and shoot in the back.\u00a0 Fortunately, I had Ian and Ruthie to help me corral them while I tried to help Saed with his homework.\u00a0
\n\"s\"
\nAnyone remember how to determine the domain and range in Algebra?\u00a0 Not an easy task!<\/p>\n

I took the Norths over to Lowes to pick up some other supplies we needed for the mission at H. Creek.\u00a0 In particular we needed a new sink.\u00a0 The other one was horrific, just about rusted all the way through.\u00a0 I sure am glad that Bill Hickey is still around to help us with that stuff.\u00a0 (Debbie, better let Edwin know I’ll probably have to start calling him again!)<\/p>\n

I’m working on the newsletters.\u00a0 Ashley got everything printed up this afternoon.\u00a0 I worked till 1am on it last night.\u00a0 Pooped now!\u00a0 Midnight comes fast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
