(A quiet August before the schedule heats up in the fall. Our three New Hampshire granddaughters are flying down to visit for a week early in August. This will be the first time the two younger ones have met their three New Orleans cousins. I’m as excited as they are. Then I have jury duty one day. That’ll be fun.)

As always, I’m open to whatever the Lord leads–whether pulpit supply, revivals, deacon training, prayer conferences, leadership banquets, whatever. My phone is 504-615-2190.
