Last night’s BOX (our youth group) was a breath of fresh air. This summer has been so “scattered” that it’s been difficult to schedule regular weekly meetings like we do throughout the school year. Last night we had a good crowd with a good response and a great time of Worship.
Today is “get new tires day”. I will head to WalMart and get four brand new tires on the Neon. I have an appointment Monday scheduled at “Smith Tire” to get an alignment to make sure these new tires last longer than the last four!
Today is also “help my wife day”. I think we’re heading to her classroom to move some furniture as she prepares for school to start in just a few weeks! (Aug. 18th)
Tomorrow we leave the church at 7:15AM to head down to Marion for a full day of Indiana North District Conference. A lot of voting and waiting will take place in those hours.
Jess and I will have to leave conference at around 2PM tomorrow to head to Montpelier. Jess’ great-grandmother went home to be with the Lord yesterday morning. Grandma Paine was a dear lady with a heart of gold and more specifically a heart for God. It will be a difficult funeral for those involved, however, it will be a celebration that a child of God was called home! The viewing is on Friday afternoon and the funeral will be Saturday morning. We’ll crash somewhere in Marion on Friday night and head back to Warsaw on Saturday afternoon.
Saturday evening we have a staff dinner with the Lumston family (the candidate from North Carolina). And Sunday we have a full day of services and my parents arrive from South Carolina. Rumor has it that we will be singing with Mom and Dad on Sunday evening!
Dad and Mom will be here Monday and Tuesday, leaving for home on Wednesday.
Now that I’ve typed out this “schedule of events” I am sure glad that I took this morning’s opportunity to sleep in until 9AM!
Time to put my “game face” on and get things done.
On another note, I don’t think today will be the maiden flight of my R/C helicopter. I need more than just a couple hours to do flight checklists, and pump myself up enough to fly such an amazing machine! Stay tuned for a later update on her maiden voyage.
