What's Up Wednesday --- September 10th

1) Congratulations to our neighbor Joe (pictured above) who will have his own local radio show ("The Joe Show"). You may remember him from a few months ago when I posted a video of him jumping in the snow in just his swimming trunks. I referred him to this job (which he is still unsure if he even gets paid for) and when he stopped over he was so excited to say, "I can't wait to have you on to do some magic"...Um, radio probably isn't the best venue for magic. Anyways, I am sure he will entertain all 6 listeners in his 10:00 PM - Midnight Monday night slot.

2) Jen's doctors appointment and tests came back great! Her cancer has been gone for a little over 3 years now, and we are so thankful that God has provided healing for her!

3) Kristie (the girl with cancer in our class) had a 2nd brain surgery yesterday to remove the other tumor in her brain. This surgery wasn't as major as the last and she is at home already recovering. Please pray that this is the last of the cancer for her as she has been fighting this for almost three years.

4) This week is my "Pastors of Excellence" Program. There are just over 100 pastors here for their 3rd retreat called "Spiritual Vitality" where we focus on their spiritual life and keeping them connected to Christ. They are definitely keeping me busy!

5) I am also teaching an accelerated class as an adjunct professor on small groups here at the seminary. I started Monday night and will meet 3 nights a week for 3 weeks (I will be teaching tonight and tomorrow night). This is also keeping me very busy...especially this week on top of the pastors program.
