I say that with a wink-wink, nod-nod, and a chuckle here or there.  It’s been “Honey do this…Honey do that”!  Please Lord, send me on the road once again.

The kids/family event in Pinckard, AL, went really well last night.  The folks were responsive and seemed to really be attentive.  I pray that although there was no movement during the invitation that the seed planted will grow in each heart and life.

Each morning I’ve spent with the yard.  As you can imagine, with our travel schedule like it’s been, basic things like trimming limbs, pruning certain shrubbery,  and overall weeding and decluttering.  I’m taking each morning and doing that and in the afternoon preparing and rehearsing  for the next event.  So, all in all, staying really busy.

We will head out this weekend for another family emphasis.  This time it’s an Awesome August Service at Ephesus Baptist Church in Forest, MS.  I’m honored and blessed to kick off this August series for them this year and this first Sunday is focused on the Family.  I will lead worship and preach in the morning service and present more of a relaxed family concert event for the evening.

On the homefront, Patty’s dad seems to be tolerating his new series of chemo treatments pretty well.  The application is by injection and is half of what it was last time that was so difficult on him.  The good thing is that it seems easier on him.  The down side would be that any evidence of tumor reduction will be considerably slower.  All in all, we are just fine right now with things.  We will continue to balance this area of our lives with the ministry side and will be driving through Yazoo City and staying several days at a time just to see that things go well.

We appreciate your prayers and support.  You are a blessing!
John
