This week – I am on the road!  I left out on Monday around noon to meet a pastor friend in the middle part of the state!  We spent a few hours kayaking down the Watree River – it was a beautiful and mostly peaceful experience!  God reminded me that it is important to take time to get out and away and be reminded of what an Awesome God He is by observing and enjoying His creation!  The water, rocks, birds, animals, trees, flowers, smells and all that you feel inside and out are simply amazing.  I miss so much, because I am often so busy!

I spent Tuesday in a class room setting with Aubrey Malphurs learning how to affect change in the church.  Most of the information I already knew, but needed to be reminded of.  If the church is going to be effective for God, then it is going to have to change, because what it is doing is just not working – not the way God designed it.

Today, I am in the lower part of the state in Myrtle Beach.  I am looking forward to a little study and reflection time with the Lord.  I also am hoping to go and join a local association in some ministry to people that are visiting bike week.  The association is doing a gas buy down – if the bikers will listen to a three minute testimony explaining what we are doing and why, then they will get their gas for free.  They had around 17 to accept Christ yesterday!

Thanks for your prayers, words of encouragement and for joining me in the Kingdom endeavor!
