At the end of another full week

This last week's travels have been so hectic that I haven't had time to post on a regular basis...for that I apologize. After returning home late Sunday night from Cleveland where I participated in the Global Day of Prayer event, I left the next evening to return to Cleveland again to participate in Unity of Ministry Committee meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday.

At the conclusion of the Wednesday night meeting (around 10:00 p.m.) I returned again to Hendersonville in order to try to catch up on work.

The next morning (Thursday) we left Hendersonville and traveled to Columbus, Georgia where I was the commencement speaker for the graduating class of 2007. It was a great event that went very well. I've included a photo here of a portion of the program, and am looking forward to returning to Tennessee in the morning.

Now...well, its full-speed ahead to the State Convention in Chattanooga next month. We are looking forward with anticipation.

For those of you who continually tell me you are praying for us, I want you to know how much we appreciate it. They have sustained us in the past 30 days of difficult, almost impossible schedules. God bless you.

Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.
