Big Week Lining Up

Yesterday was a great day!  I preached two times at the Glendale Church—once at 8:30 and the other at 11:15 a.m.  The second went a lot better than the first, although it was after the first service that someone approached me to let me know that the message was exactly what she needed on that day.  It’s humbling.

The afternoon was spent restfully with Penny—which is a rare occasion.  We heard messages from various speakers on the Internet and listened to some good music.  We even found time to take a short walk around campus in the afternoon after it had cooled down.  It’s still nice around here since it actually cools down in the evening.  In the heat of the summer (pun intended) it does not cool down enough to make a difference.  A fan alone will not suffice, although surprisingly so people lived here long before the arrival any electric fan or swamp cooler.

Today was supposed to be a day of office work—catching up, if you wish.  I have been here a considerable amount of time with little progress.  I still have the afternoon.  The week will be anchored by K-12 Education Board on Tuesday and AZ Executive Committee on Wednesday.  The Education Board agenda will include the usual reports by TAA and Holbrook, and introductions of their new principals—one which will be attending.  A number of out-of-state trips will be considered in addition to personnel decisions and school budgets.  It will be a full docket.  I ask for your prayers as the committee wrestles with the momentous decisions that face our system.
