Today began with breakfast with some great guys at church. Lloyd and his crew cooked up some French toast and we enjoyed it together. Eric presented a good devotional about trusting God even in tough times. The biblical truth he presented was underscored by the experiences he’s undergone in the past several months.

Afterward, I did some counseling with a young man, helping him with a job application, talking about how he should relate to others, and praying for him. I also did a little bit of telephone counseling. Ah — the joys of technology.

When I left the church, my motorcycle wouldn’t start. Now I know how Harley riders must feel every day! Turns out that it was out of gas. How did that happen? A quick flick of the valve and I was on my way.

With the exception of about an hour spent on the phone discussing focus and ministry with people in the church, the rest of the day was spent finishing up the sermon, creating the Power Point to go with it, making copies, and preparing tomorrow’s prayer list — all done by 4:00 p.m.

Early in the afternoon I learned that my mother had broken her shoulder. Please pray for her — that as she awaits seeing the doctor on Monday she will be comfortable.

Thanks for your continued prayers for the effective ministry of Curwensville Alliance.
