Up at 5:20.
Drove 40 miles to pick up 50 kids (all in 60 minutes).
Stopped at “Bubba’s” for a small bite to eat (very small…seeing how they couldn’t get the order right and I ended up eating an egg and drinking a Dr. Pepper).
Reading “In The Name of Jesus” by Nouwen. I’m glad it’s an easy read…but not sure what I think so far. I suppose I’ll wrap it up today and then re-read it tomorrow just to see how it applies. After that I’ll begin “Leaders Who Last” by Margaret J. Marcuson. This book is another one of those “Systems” books. It seems to be written differently than Steinke and others but I’ve been told that it will be a blessing to this ministry.
Still trying to get out of a house that has mold (searching for a new home is easy…acquiring a mortgage in this new culture of “non-lenders” is crummy). Pray that we see a positive end to this situation soon…the wife is losin’ it.
This is my journal for the day. I promise to commit to you a day at a time.

John, let me know what you think of “Leaders Who Last.” I thought “In the Name of Jesus” was a powerful book.
