End of the Week

So glad it is Friday and I did not even have to travel this week. Dad flew down from KC yesterday and it is good to have him here for a few days. Last night he had us all cracked up talking about his "matching" pajamas and just being generally funny. He also fixed us his famous spaghetti and meatballs, chocolate pie (using my mom's recipe) and his world renowned banana pudding. It is so good to have him around. He will get to take in a couple of basketball games and just hang out with us.

Weather has been interesting this week. Tuesday's run was very cold and today's ten miler was in the high 40s with a high today somewhere in the 60s. Tomorrow it is supposed to be high 30s for the high. Crazy January.

DCA plays at home tonight and there are Coming Home festivities between the varsity games so as the announcer, I will be busy. I really do enjoy it though and it keeps me from doing and saying goofy things in the stands. Many of you know I need all of the help I can get.

I am going to ask you to pray for a family who are good friends of ours. They have a potential serious health issue that they will be facing in the coming days. Pray for healing and God's favor. All I can say at this point. Please just pray.

Looking forward to a great weekend. Quite a few things on the docket, but should be a fun one!

Thanks for the invite...I think we'll take you up on that when we come in for the race. Sounds like you are getting our nice temps from yesterday...it's suppose to be in the high 20's, low 30's here today with flurries on the way home from work - it's all good, I'll be working inside the house this weekend.

R. Clyde Hall, Jr. - The Great Compiler and My Friend

 Every time an older person dies, a library burns. - African Proverb I remember hearing this proverb in early 1993. I had just started working at LifeWay Christian Resources in November of 1992. I was on a trip with a co-worker and he mentioned this proverb and it has stuck with me since. R. Clyde Hall, Jr. Earlier in 1992, I was still working as a student minister in Nashville, I had led some conferences for the Baptist Sunday School Board,  and I got to know some of the leadership in the youth area of that organization. One of those leaders I had met in my seminary days as he had come to visit some of the classes I was taking. The first time I met Clyde was in a seminary class and he asked me to stay after class and talk with him a minute. I had no idea why he singled me out but I am glad he did. He really just wanted to get to know me because one of my profs had told him that I was someone he should get to know. (Yep, I was shocked too.) Fast forward to Summer 1992 and I ge...

So recently there has been a lot of talk about me building some margin into my life and I would like to tell you that I have made great strides in that area but that might be a stretch. Except, this week, Sondra and I have been on vacation. After spending a little time with my friends at World Changers and their worship leaders this summer, Sondra and I climbed in the car and headed east. Our first stop was in Maryville, TN to see our friends the Kooch's. Wonderful friends who used to live in Nashville and moved to the Knoxville area and we have kept in touch with them over the years. On Sunday, we headed to Florence, SC and stayed a couple of days with Tom and Georgina Carringer. Other friends of ours who used to live in Nashville but Tom is a big shot at ACS now and they are based in Florence. We enjoyed seeing them and Jacob and Denise and their three, Malachi, Zeke and Fiona. All three of the kids were great to be around and so were their parents. It was great to catch up ...

You're Doing What?!?

Sondra and I are excited to let you know that I have accepted a job with WinShape Foundation in the WinShape College Program . In this season of Coronavirus it does not seem to make much sense to change jobs and make a move but we have learned that as God reveals Himself it is ALWAYS best to be open handed and obey. We will be moving to Rome, GA at some point when the current restrictions are lifted. There are many things to be worked out but I will start with WinShape on May 11. We will give you details as we know them. In the meantime, you can catch this video that I did with our pastor, Michael DiMarco and it will provide a few more details. My three years at Friendship Community Church have been a great season of growth, refinement, learning and pruning in my own life. I am grateful for the people, the experiences and the growth that I have been a part of among this family of believers.
