June 2 - June 8

Monday - Delivered soccer flyers to 6 elementary schools (my part as a parent of Fun, Fair, Positive Soccer). Went to church to check email. Got a call from the Pastor who was on call as hospital chaplain (but too far away) to visit a family at Tomball ER whose 4 year old son had drowned in a neighbor's pool. It was a first for me and not something I'd like to repeat.

Tuesday - Setup a new computer in our Sound/Video booth. Ate buffalo wings with buddy David.

Wednesday - We had our first ever "Fishers of Men" meeting at the home of our Assoc. Pastor of Outreach and Assimilation (Larry Edwards) who lives on a large pond. We'll meet each Weds in June. The men fished for 45 min, then we ate hot dogs and Bro. Larry is doing a bible study from passages of Jesus "by the sea." Pictures here.

Thursday - had a meeting with the president of 360hubs.com about church technology. It's some really exciting stuff! Had to rush away to pick up my family from Michigan at the airport. Picture here

Friday - made two hospital visits downtown. Austin helped me unload a trailer load of Easter set stuff in our storage unit. He is a hard worker and loves doing anything with his daddy! (The same can be said for Tyler actually). Then I worked on songs for Wilderness Ridge Camp.

Saturday - I had a leadership meeting at Wilderness Ridge camp at 3pm (1 hour 45 min drive). On the way home I happened upon a bad head-on collision outside Brenham at 10pm. I was the only car with a flashlight (no emergency vehicles yet) so I had to stop and render aid. One girl (20 years old) died on impact and a 55 year old woman (crossed over the median) died not long after the impact. I held my flashlight while the EMT worked on her. The second time in one week that I stared death in the face. Very sobering.

Sunday - great worship service with Jennifer Bacak (pastor's daughter) singing "Revelation Song". It was amazing. Rushed home after church with the boys to eat lunch and pack the car to leave for Wilderness Ridge. Arrived at Camp about 3pm and started greeting the boys who were in my cabin as they arrived. Here's a picture of the boys getting to know one another.
