In Honor of the World Cup

Where Have You Been?

When I was a small boy growing up in rural Missouri, my parents asked me, "Where have you been?" quite often. Sometimes the inquiry was because I had been away from home without specific permission; sometimes because I was away longer than I had permission; and, sometimes they wanted to hear about my adventures.

Here is an update on some of my adventures the past couple of months - 

Since mid-April most of my adventures have been around Nashville. There were a couple of trips but they were mostly uneventful

We made a quick trip to Panama City Beach, FL mid-May to support Mark in his 70.3 triathlon. The water was rough so they cancelled the swim. He got a good finish and we had a ball with him and Shelbi. Sondra and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary that same weekend.

Morgan graduated with her Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee and my dad and cousins came down to attend the graduation and hang out for a few days. It was great to have them here. 

I participated in about 10 days of training our World Changers and P2 Missions summer staffers in late May/early June. We are blessed to have some great young adults serving churches this summer.

I am traveling quite a bit right now visiting World Changers projects in Louisiana and Texas. It is an honor and privilege to serve group leaders and churches in this capacity.

All of the family is doing good. Sondra was in Bolivar for about 9 days cleaning her mom's house; prepping it to sell; and having a garage sale. She enjoyed her time with her sister and niece while there as they worked hard and got the house ready to sell.

Morgan became world famous by appearing on ESPN during the USA/Nigeria game in Jacksonville, FL a week before the World Cup in Brazil. She is a big deal of course.

Come see us some time but if you're coming from out of town, call first so we will be sure to be around when you come.
