Driving to New Orleans

Watching competing cloud clusters and shifting wind currents in fickle gulf streams - watching the crescent earth heal itself of storms it self-inflicts - I ride in under it all like the ant that I am - scurrying for my own crumb to carry back to colonies to which I am obligated - groaning, grieving and growing - deep sigh - like these clouds - a covering.

Ministry Update-4/23

I’m on a plane now to Atlanta, will rent a car and drive to Augusta, Georgia where I will be sharing in a break-out session at the Augusta Conference. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to be with the brethren there and hopefully renew acquaintance with many. I also will be meeting with numerous groups throughout my time there including a Campus Outreach ministry at Augusta College on Tuesday night. I also will be meeting with some young people from Milledgeville – some who have expressed interest in staff positions at Rebirth. I will be consulting with others who are actively engaged in urban ministry in the great city of Augusta. It should be a rather action packed few days. Please pray for God’s blessing! Oh yea, I hope to fit in at least one round of golf. And no, it won’t be at Augusta National! However, I’m sure that I’m going to play better courses than that on other side of the Jordan!

I just got in last night from a fund-raising concert and dessert get-together in Slidell, Louisiana. There were close to a hundred persons in the home of my dear friends Larry and Mary Ann Welch. Ellen and I were deeply encouraged to renew our friendship with the incredible folks at Faith Bible and to be introduced to so many new friends, as well! The desserts were unbelievably tempting, yet you all would be proud that I refrained from gorging myself. The folks were very generous and the event was a real success!

I’ll update you more later.
