The vacation/lectureship trip ended on Friday. We completed our journey, and are now back to see what God is going to bring our way. Today, Monday, I began a week of call with MPD. I pray for a quiet week (a time of peace) in the City. My fellow chaplains have been busy with the death of the Hiway Patrol officer. This week and every week pray for the safety of the men who leave the comfort of their homes to protect us from Satan's army.
Thursday night the Red Cross will have their monthly meeting at the Davis Park Church of Christ building at 6:30 p.m. If you are a part of our response team, you are invited to attend the meeting.

300 miles and we will be home . . .
We will be back from the vacation/ lectureship tomorrow afternoon. The trip has been good. We will have covered nearly 5000 miles by the time we roll into the house. I can hardly wait to see where God will lead us this year.

Carrolton Ave. Church of Christ
Here is a clip from the Carrolton Ave Church of Christ site . . .
The sermon was a message from a member who had barely escaped with his life and spent days on the I-10 bridge waiting for rescue. His story was gripping, but his faith was inspiring. He told us that he dared to die for God, that he told the Lord that he would either bless him tonight by taking him home, or bless him in the days to come by witnessing the power of God. He retold how he set up an impromptu devotional with those fleeing the flood on the I-10 bridge, the same bridge where drug deals were taking place in plain site of those seeking refuge. He told of how a woman heard them singing and took heart, saying, "They are having church right here on the bridge." He reminded us that each of us, every day, need to "have church" wherever we are and in whatever we do. There is no preaching school in the world that could have polished or improved that man's message from the heart. It was very inspiring and humbling at the same time.

Greetings from the Lone Star State . . .
Hello from Burnet, TX. . .
We have now been on the road for over a week. We have visited Krista's Mom and Dad, Her sister, my dad's old house in Lake Jackson, TX and today we visited with my sister's family. We have packed a lot of visits into these past nine days and covered 3300 miles at this point. We are road weary and tired. However, it has been good to spend time with family. I have read about the tragic loss of Earl, the CHP officer who was shot in Salida. What a loss for our community. Please pray for our officers and their families as they grieve this loss and fear for their future safety.
I am going to try and get some rest as we wind down this trip and head for the Abilene Lectures tomorrow.
Pray for our safety as we travel.

Blessings. . .
God is incredible! I have seen him working through us this week. It is great that we have so many willing servants that are willing to work hard for God! Christy Sipes has been working hard at the Riverbank Shelter nearly every night for ten nights. Many others have contributed to this project throughout the whole operation. Nearly all the families have found new homes and the shelter is winding down. Friday afternoon will finish it up.
God continues to use me in different ways and I am thankful for it. Since the first of the year I have been on several fire calls, chaplain calls and a host of other tasks. I pray that God will help me to have the skills to bring his touch to this world.

Riverbank Shelter
The shelter for the fire victims remains open tonight. So far the Red Cross has used nearly 60 volunteers on DR 296. The Response Team has provided 10 of these volunteers. Presently, I am Mass Care Officer, In charge of feeding and sheltering these 19 individuals(8 families). The real story is that many individuals drop whatever they are doing to take care of their fellow men. Most of the families will be moving into homes new to them this week. They will have a lot of needs for items in the new homes.
Pray for these families.
