1) You've probably noticed the posts this week have been very quick (and mostly videos). It is because I am in the middle of a retreat program for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at a resort about 20 miles south of here. It has been a pretty neat opportunity as many of the participants are key leaders in the organization and include ex-NFL coaches, ex-Professional Athletes, people who currently work with pro sports teams as chaplains, etc. (pictured above is the president of FCA who is at the retreat this week, Les Stekel...former head coach of the Vikings, and was the offensive coordinator of the Titans when they were in the Superbowl and lost on the last play of the game when the player missed a TD by 1 yard. He has a book about that called One Yard Short that is a great story of faith! So I've got to have some great conversations! Haven't gotten any free tickets for anything yet though.
2) We will be excited to be back and doing the church service at the County Detention Center this Sunday. We had a fill-in the past 3 weeks due to magic shows and family events. Since school started here this week, the kids will either be extra happy or extra unhappy missing the first week because of being locked up there...and it really isn't a nice place to be! I'll try and post a picture of the place one of these weeks.

3) Many of you have asked about our friend Kristie from our class that had brain surgery to remove a tumor. The surgery went very well. She was told she would be in the hospital around 5 days, but she had the surgery Friday and was home Sunday. Last Sunday she was in class sharing a testimony of how God met her in a very powerful way.

4) The "Ashland's Got Talent" Contest is no longer a contest. They are going to have acts perform, but no prizes (not sure why that changed). But the lady in charge called and had seen my act before and said I did not need to try-out and that I was definitely in. She asked for a full show, but I decided to just do an opening to the show since I will be doing my full show at the county fair next month. This will take place on Monday.

5) We may get some visitors over the weekend. Jen's sister Julie and family are thinking of traveling to Ohio to visit a few families here, but haven't made any definite decision yet...maybe if they read it on this Blog it will put extra pressure on them to pull through!
