• Wow, I've been trying to figure out how to update this properly for a while.  I think I'll just have to put up what I can.

  
  

  Been busy.  Teaching.  Construction.  Lots of planning.  Started traveling again. 

  
  

  OK, maybe I can do slightly better.  My first weekend away from home this year was to speak for the Andrews University Student Ministerial Association retreat.  That was fun.  I got to know the theology, religion, and biblical languages majors and their professors.  Saw wonderful friends: David, Jesse, Esther, Hanna, Maria, Brad! Made new ones.  Grrr.... The worst part was that I didn't take a single picture!

  
  

  Then last weekend I was in Texas.  Preached at the Fort Worth First Church with good response.  Met with the hotel and convention center people, Texas Conference administration, and the Southwest Regional Conference president.

  
  

  I got home yesterday after a very hot ride in 102 degree heat with no airconditioner in my truck.  Went to the doctor and got five shots in my hand. He then made my finger bend all the way!  Yikes!  Needless to say, it was sore this morning.

  
  

  I just watched JetBlue flight 292 and its emergency landing live on TV.  I had just got off a flight and ran into a crowd gathered in the hallway of the terminal.  Pilots and passengers alike were glued to the screen, and erupted in applause when the plane stopped safely.

  
  

  The moral of the story - DO NOT FLY AIRBUS PLANES!!!  It is unpatriotic and dangerous.  Because I said so.

  
  

  Right now I'm on my way to South Africa and Ghana. Pray for me!  I'll be praying for you.
