One of my favorite things to read on blogs like this one and this one, is when they give a roundup of everything that is on their mind/in their heart on Sunday. I think I’m going to do the same thing and call it "Buncha Stuff Sunday" – which will just be a random hodge podge of things going on with me, the King Team, the Courageous Church, and more. Here we go:
- I am super amped about this guy moving to Atlanta in July. We roomed together @ Morehouse and were best friends in little ‘ol Versailles, KY. I am dreaming of some creative ways he can take the Courageous Church to the next level!
- I’m about to go eat @ Cracker Barrel with Rai’s family. They are great people and remind me that I have a solid foundation of support and love in Kentucky.
- I visited Imani Baptist Church this morning and was glad to see a lot of old friends – including Rev. Willis Polk – the Senior Pastor there. They are doing HUGE things in Lexington that I will be blogging about when I get back home to Atlanta. I learned a ton from the time I spent with Rev. Polk this past Saturday in the awesome facility they are constructing.
- I was shocked to find out how many people @ Imani and in Lexington are reading my blog. I knew that some folk were reading it, but I didn’t know who!
- I am writing this from a desktop computer in my nephew’s bedroom. I brought my laptop, but realized that without wireless service, it’s like a big hunk of junk for me. I may need to buy a wireless card or a phone that tethers to the laptop!
- My wife’s family is going through some REALLY hard times right now. Too hurtful to tell it all here, but Rai and I are dreaming about how we can help. It may mean some radical moves and I’ll keep you posted. We may need to ask you for a bunch of money and a bunch of prayer to make this work! We may also need a new van and a new home – hint, hint!
- I love my mother and find her home to be a place of peace and a real country refuge for my busy, citified family.
- I have to admit that I was hurt to see Sean Sherk get beat up by BJ Penn last night @ UFC 84. I used to love BJ Penn, but have found him to be arrogant and smug over the past few years. He called out my main man GSP after the fight and I hope GSP squashes him like a bug later this year.
- Couldn’t believe that Keith Jardine got hammered so badly by Wanderlei Silva – was even worse than when he got hammered by Houston Alexander. The way to beat Keith has been exposed. Rush him as soon as the bell rings with everything, but the kitchen sink.
- I used to think that Barack Obama and John McCain would have a civil campaign against one another, but I am starting to think that that race may get low. Let’s hope not because they both have a history of doing things differently.
- I am planning on visiting NewSpring in Anderson, SC in two weeks and can’t wait. I love what they are doing in SC and want to see some of it live. What an awesome church?!
- Dreading the ride back to Atlanta tomorrow. The drive kills my back and puts me out of commission for a few days every time we make it now.
- I have been working out daily with the plan that Andrew Johnston put together for me and feel worse physically (and emotionally) having not done it for 2 days. I will take a walk and workout tonight. I could blog for days about how much his plan is helping me.
- Gotta run and get some other things done on the net while I have some time. Love y’all!
