Things here are going well. My son graduated from High School, I have been to 2 out of 3 weddings, the remodel is on hold, and I have begun the last of 5 classes for my Master's degree. I have purchased a ticket and will be in British Columbia July 30th through August 13th riding for the Canadian Bible Society and Bike for Bibles. The training is going OK.

It good to have it reinstated back to me. I know Paul and I am a member of the Tenn. Federation of Fire Chaplains. Again, I forget about the support that I could receive from that. I just get frustrated sometimes not knowing when to respond and find out situations where I should have been called and was not. But it will all work out. I know that Jesus faced larger obstacles than that! Thanks again, Ted..............
