Florida

Morgan and I got the opportunity to come to Orlando for the FL Youth Evangelism Conference and represent LifeWay Student Ministry. It has been a good weekend. We flew over on Fri. and leave out later tonight. We have not done a whole lot but I have really enjoyed just spending time with her. She starts her sr. year on Tues. at DCA and it is pretty hard to believe that time has flown by so quickly.

Building 429 and Tony Nolan were the platform personalities and they did a very good job. There were close to 1oo decisions for Christ on Friday night and then yesterday afternoon students distributed groceries to over 100 families in the Orlando area. I love seeing students in action. I also had many great conversations with youth leaders about how we can more effectively minister to students. I love my job.

Last night we met our friends the Keators for dinner at Pizza Fusion (all organic) and had a great time with them. We have known Patti for close to 25 years. We love the Keators and plan on going over to their house later today to hang out before flying out tonight.

Sondra has enjoyed her time with her mom in Missouri this week. She met up with some college friends, did a little painting at her mom's and got her Skype working again for her.

Shelbi and one of her college roommates, Andi, have been in SC all week with our friends the Carringers and they have had a great time. All of us converge back on the house tonight. Morgan starts back to school on Tues. and we take Shelbi back to Union on Weds. where she starts her 2nd year and will be an RA this year as well. Another summer almost in the books.

Looking forward to the day and the week and thankful for God's blessings on us as a family.
