Today

Hey Tom, liked your post. It brought a lot of light. So, here's a snap shot of the Indy life.

Today was a little different. It's Friday, which is usually our day off, but 3 guys Justin, Joe and Zach came down with Walt Seale for the weekend. They got in late last night so we had a late start.

10:00 Do some personal prayer down stairs in common office - all rooms full up

10:30 Coffee happens with household. I just get up and walk across porch to over side.

11:00 Chores: Joe mows side-field (God bless him)

12:00 NoVA guys and I head to IUPUI for tour of hotel, UC, the quad, library, etc. Talk about what it's like to preach right where stand to do it in UC. End up under shade trees in hotel courtyard about how to start a conversation.

1:30 Return early. Abe picks us up, and we get back with enough time for Justin and I to talk a walk. Solid senior, I think God's got some plans. Upon return we figure out the Iliad and Martin Luther before dinner.

2:30 Dinner! Praise God. Women have packed and will leave directly for Women's Retreat, but we all eat Hannah egg salad sandwiches on donated Panera (God be praised) and Loughrin cookies and Ellen's carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Amazing.

3:50 Abe and I - dishes.

4:15 Head to Southside for evening o' mission.

4:30 Hour of mission prayer. I was talking with Holy Spirit about our future and wanted to set higher expectations. We talked about Paul's imprisonments and His directness of communication through visions.

5:30 Zach and I head hit the streets. Meet some new and old folks. Repentance and the book of Acts was a part of conversation today. Zach preached Paul's first vision to a few people (as that's what he got in the hour of mission prayer).

8:00 Missionaries gather from all the corners of the Southside for quick debrief before headed back.

8:45 Night ends with more cookies from the Loughrins - thank you Jesus - and we sit and tell stories from the day. It was really wonderful. John and Justin prayed with a Vet for his girlfriend who's in the hospital. She called a few minutes later just to say she was feeling quite better. WOW. And we end with evening prayer. Abrazos all around.

Tomorrow I'm getting up for 4 miler with Joe at 6:00, we'll all pray at 6:30, then breakfast and painting all day. This will be payment for staying in house on Southside until December. Lord's Day dinner with all guys in Indy branch at Center.

What a life the Lord lives.
