Life has been very interesting lately.

First, I got some good advice today about dating, marriage, Christianity, and family. Let me tell you my mom is in the hospital. Please pray that all will go well with her blood sugar. It has been dropping here lately in the low teens number. She has been dizzy, and bruises are showing up all over her body. She is not in pain( I am grateful) Her name is Mary. The advice I got was to stop trying to control everything and let God do what he is going to do without me messing it up. The advice continued to remind me why I am on this earth, which is to help plant seeds for Christ. Am I doing that at my private Christian school.(yes) My saved church that meets in Marietta, Georgia(yes). Am I doing it at my condo that I purchased a month ago(N0) bank,grocery store, gas station, many restaurants I frequent( All of these are no or maybe) We got work to do people let's do it!

Second, I am very thankful for many things today. My work has been my life. Greater Atlanta Christian and East Cobb Church make up the bulk of my life right now. I love and I'm very thankful to be involved in both ministries. I don't really look at it as a job. Although, I do get paid for both works, I am humbled by these opportunities and that both places seemed to have accepted who I am for who I am. You know what I mean. I am very thankful for the Leadership in both places. They are not perfect and I know you can't believe it, but I am not perfect as well.

Third, Volleyball begins for me tomorrow. Our first game is tomorrow. I am excited. I pray that my girls will be ready mentally. I have missed the coaching scene. Tomorrow should be a great day to restart that career. We do have a little girl drama here at the beginning. We will see how that plays out tomorrow.

Have a great week!

I had a good week last week!

I had a very good week last week. I got to lead worship at my home congregation, during our faculty spiritual day, and an area wide in Houston Texas was my start of the week. I really enjoy returning to my home church. I love encouraging them, and visiting with lifelong friends.

We started back to school as teachers this week. I got the opportunity to lead worship as we return. This group loves to sing,and this is the Highlight of the week. We were in the throne room baby. It was awesome.

I got on a plane that afternoon to go to Houston for an area wide youth rally. Had to miss our day of service as teacher, but I got to serve and lead worship as Jeff Walling presented Grace in his usually great fashion. It was good to catch up with some friends there as well.

4am I leave for the airport to fly back to Atlanta and catch a plane to Dallas and then to Oklahoma City where I got an opportunity to speak to some very bright high school kids. I had a three hour lay over in Dallas, and got a chance to have lunch with two of my very good friends from there at my favorite Dallas area restaurant Red Hot and Blue. I got the Ribwich combo memphis style that included a two bone rib. It was goooood! I should have order a full rack of ribs. I love the food, the company was even better.

iDebate at Oklahoma Christian is where I was to speak Tuesday night. The kids responded very well and blogged about their experienceYou can find their blog here. Again, I had a lot of fun talking to them about Leadership. They thought I was very funny, but really listen to what I had to say. It was good to visit with another good friend there. We went back to my college days, and it was fun to think about those times.

4am again, I leave for the airport to return to Atlanta. I got back in timeto meet the boys of Junior High(male teachers) We meet for lunch once during our inservice to catch up and bond. I was glad I made it back for that.

Volleyball Wednesday thru Friday. I had to teach my team our serve-receive defense. We scrimmage the varsity and I saw they had learned a lot this week. We did not win against them, but played very well. They were focus.

It was a great week. I will attempt to include pictures in this post.
