Tucson, AZ

I got into Tucson last night about 1:00. After driving 1200 miles in 18 hours, I am kind of wiped out. Will post more later.

Lion - Friend or Foe

I found this on James Wilder's blog and thought it was so neat that I would post it on here. This is really cool. Watch the beginning story and the rest is really really great.

Musings....

I am sitting here at the table in the hotel room, relaxing after just making a Starbucks run to satisfy my caffeine cravings. Nothing like a white-hot peppermint mocha (fat free because it taste better) still with whipped cream, to put me to sleep. I am sitting here in Broken Arrow, OK pondering ideas for a presentation I am working on for the Home Missions dept. It has to be done by camp meeting so I am trying to come up with catchy pictures and ideas so it will present itself as a professional type of media presentation. By the way, camp meeting is just around the corner. It seems like it was just here not to long ago. Hard to believe a year has past. Its the last camp meeting with the Northern and the Southern districts together so everyone is thinking its gonna be big. I will say there is NOTHING like California Camp Meeting. I am almost ready to come home. While being out a lot this summer, it's been a great experience. A lot of great people met. This weekend I was with the Marshalls here in Supulpa, OK. Had a great time over the weekend. There are some pics of their kids and them below. The humidity is great here still. You walk outside and you melt.... Blog spot came out with something great in the last little while that is really neat. It's a new blogger-friend list side-bar for the blog. Now you can see what the latest topic that certain blogger has posted without even going to their blog. And when they updated their blog AND who has updated the last. Not that I'm saying it's a pain just to click on their link and go there, but now you can see if there's anything new to read without going to their site and coming back. I am headed out Thursday morning early and hopefully will make it all the way through Arizona by Friday. Thanks for all your prayers everyone and I look forward to seeing you all back home and at campmeeting.

Church Building Pics

I am far, far from home, but friends from home are sending me pictures of what FAC looks like right now. We are currently in the process of remodeling the church and everything pretty much looks like it is tore up. They are enlarging the sanctuary to provide a larger platform and additional seating space.

Pretty exciting and wish I was there.

Me and Stan Cook. Stan sang with the McGruders for years and is still is awesome.

Me with the Huntleys. Back about 20 years ago when we were in North Carolina, they dedicated my brother. Incredible and such humble people.

Oklahoma Campground

Here are some pics of the Oklahoma Campground. These are from last nights service. Some of the pics are from on the platform behind the district officials heads. I know they aren't that great but I really didn't think it was the best time to ask them to turn around and smile.

Bro Huntley Preaching

I ran across this sitting in "Charlies Bean" Coffeeshop today between services. If you have a sense of humor, and you have been around the UPC, you will think this is funny.....if you dont........its pretty good!
