The second night of the 2-night event in Cape Girardeau, MO was fantastic.  In the two nights we had over 65 decisions.  I had a great time with Rick Harris and his family.  And all of his volunteers were great.  Rick took me to lunch yesterday and today, Logan’s and Shogun, respectively.  His wife Jennifer, made me a goody pack.  Literally, a backpack stuffed with all kinds of goodies.  They set me up with a green room at the church and loaded that up with goodies.  I had chips, cookies, drinks, and my favorite, fresh fruit.

They took tremendous care of me and it was really humbling.  Thank you Jesus for the people at Cape First and for my new friends who used to live in Dalton, GA, the Harris family.

I had a great event tonight in MO.  We had over 450 people there and we had a bunch of decisions for Christ.  I have another event tomorrow night here and I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do.  I leave here on Saturday morning and head to Jackson, MS where I will catch a plane on Sunday morning at 6am and fly to Florida where I will meet my family for some vacation time.  We will spend about 10 days in Florida and then I fly back to MS and drive to Baton Rouge where I will have events on June 10 and 11.  I will leave there to go to Cut Off, LA to do an event and then go to Pearland, TX for another event.  I am so glad that God allows me to do KidzBlitz.  I love seeing kids come to know Christ.

I haven’t been on the road that much over the past month and I haven’t gotten to play golf, so writings from the road and the golf course just haven’t been coming.  I have had things going on in my life but I just haven’t taken the time to stop and write about them.  Things such as our church having to move out of the theatre and my son playing baseball and my daughter fracturing her back are just of the few things that have happened lately.  We are blessed to have found a doctor in Atlanta that specializes in spines and he also works with athletes as is my baby girl Taylor.  When we walked into his office the walls were covered with jerseys from pro athletes who had been under our doctors care.  But one picture caught my wife Christy’s and my daughter Taylor’s eyes.  It was a picture of Matthew McConaughey.  Taylor’s shares the same doctor with Matthew McConaughey.  WOW!!!  Christy asked the nurses if that was a nice day in the office and the ladies responded with, “That was a great two weeks.” 

We have fallen in love with the doctor; he is great and we now have a plan for Taylor to get her back into the gym where she thrives.  She misses gymnastics and is ready to go back but we must make sure she is well. 

Ty finished spring baseball, ran track for two weeks and now has started summer baseball.  Oh, and he starts spring football practice tomorrow.  We are definitely busy.

Trip made the cheerleading squad for Legacy Sports and loves being around all those girls.  I can’t wait to see how he does.  He enjoys all the stunts and tumbling that they do.

I just celebrated my 37th birthday and Christy and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. Whew, how time flies.  I love my wife and am thankful to have her.  She truly is a blessing.  I think I will be finished for now, but come back later and I am sure there will be more.  Have a blessed day.
