Just thought I would give a glance at my day yesterday. I am praying over yesterday and asking God to continue to work in some connections he allowed me to make.
7:00 – I spent the morning at Youth Middle School at our Starbuck Thursday coffee house for the teachers. Craig came up with a brilliant idea to create a coffee house every Thursday in February. They come by on their planning period and hang out, drink coffee, eat goodies, and play Wii. Craig set it up on Wednesday afternoon. I brewed coffee and talked with teachers and staff and played a little Wii golf. Mrs. Ginger Lynch is the principal at YMS. She and her staff and faculty are the best. Sandy, Nathan, Katelyn and Lisa came up to help us.
12noon – I spent a couple of hours with Shane and his family talking and planning his grandmother’s funeral. Shane is with the Dekalb Police and attends CATGrove. He is a great guy and God has really worked in his life this past year. His grandmother, Jessie Thomas, passed away on Wednesday afternoon. She lived to be 90 years old and was still driving her car up to three weeks ago. I pray that I can offer encouragement and honor her life when I speak at her funeral tomorrow. She was a Christian lady and lived a full life, loving her family right up to the end. I had a blast hanging out and talking with Shane’s family.
2:30 – I stopped by our CATG office to grab some things on the way back to help Craig break down the coffee house.
3:15 – Craig had already broken down everything. I helped him load up a little. Pray for Craig. His grandmother passed away a couple of days ago and they have the funeral tomorrow. It has been a tough time for he and his family. She lived a long full life and they have that to be thankful for.
3:45 – I spent a couple of hours with some officers at the Loganville PD. I love being their chaplain! These guys are great and they have a great leader in Chief Mike.
6:15 – Thank God! I went back to the school parking lot and found some keys that had fallen out of my pocket and fell in the parking lot. They were right where I hoped I would find them. What a blessing not to lose those keys! No jokes please!
6:30 – Home! Hanging out with the family. Jill and the kids had a rough day. Josiah twisted his ankle at gymnastics. Abigail has had a fever. Caleb may have “pinkeye”. Jill was thankful that the day was coming to an end.
