The Mission

Monday we showed up at the mission a little late. The management had let the kids in to the mission room, and they were tearing the place up. We have a lock on the door, but the management wont give us a key. I had a great conversation with the kids about that being there room and how important it is to take good care of all God as in trusted us with. I ended up having to send Isaid home because he had gotten a chair and was handing out candy from the treasure box on the very top shelf of our storage shelves. I sent him home and told him he could not come back for one week. That's just the way it is with these kids. We love them,but occasionally we have to give them a little tough love as well. I'll let him come back next week.

We went by today to check on the kids. It was early release day from school, so most of the kids were already in their houses. We have an event scheduled for Saturday. Our partner, Meghan, will be bringing a group from Youth Outreach United to play games and share the Gospel with the kids.

Sunday me, Cornelia , Kaitlyn and friends went to the "Winter Jam" concert. I had the opportunity to go back stage and meet Toby Mac.

He seemed to be a very Godly man focused on getting the gospel message to the kids. It was a big thrill. Unfortunately Kaitlyn was a little upset because she has always dreamed of meeting him. Maybe one day she will get her opportunity. Unfortunately I left my camera behind with Cornelia and was not able to get the photographic proof.

I also had the opportunity to meet my hero "Toddie Funk" the bass player for the Diverse City Band (Toby Mac's bass player). From one bass player to another we talked about music styles, gear, and the types of bass guitars we like to play. It was a great conversation. Cornelia said that I was trying to relive the glory days back when I stood in Toddie's shoes. Hey and I did not forget my camera this time. Oh yeah...the photo is courtesy of Kaitlyn my daughter. She was excited too.

Tomorrow I get to to spend the day with my partner Tim Cummins. It's been awhile since we have seen each other and I am look forward to the days activities. I will blog again tomorrow to let you know what we did.

We Love You All!
