monthly? update
Posted by Drew | Filed under General
Sadly, that’s about how long it’s been since my last update. Doesnt’ feel like that long. July couldn’t have been 30 days ago… THis month has flown by. Good time at home, brief time at Auburn, then Briefing in Colorado (nice trip into the mountains where it was 40 degrees at night — I almost forgot what I was missing at home until the weather channel popped up on my computer still set to announce the weather in Tupelo and I saw that it was 97, feels like 105). That was followed by more meaningful time in Auburn, then Tuscaloosa, Huntsville… I got home Saturday afternoon and felt more tired in every way that I could be tired than I’ve felt in a long time. The two weeks previous really left me exhausted. But a few days at home, some very therapeutic ultimate frisbee, mom’s meatloaf, and I think I’m ready to do it again. It’s a good thing because my travelling still isn’t over. Tomorrow I’ll take a trip that I’ve anticipated for quite some time. 7 pm kickoff for the only football game I’ll watch live this next year. (Unless, of course, I follow in the footsteps of Tim who STINTed in Salerno last year and played for the Salerno Seagulls Football team (American football - not soccer)) A Bulldog win would be nice. Regardless, I’ll just be happy to be there. Then I head back home for a few hours before driving to Memphis for my 6 am fliight to CA for my friend Jim’s wedding. Sunday I’ll come home, then Wednesday I take off for Italy. So tonight was one of my last nights at home.
Some of you will be getting little prayer cards in the mail from me. A friend of mine calls them Missionary trading cards. You’ve probably all seen some like it on someone’s refrigerator.. a solo shot of a person or a family with some nature background, reminding us to pray for them. Well, I finally have my own. My home church in Tupelo helped me print them up to raise support there, and I have been sending out the extras to current supporters and friends. Many of you will get one in the mail soon. If you don’t, and you would like one, please let me know soon, and I’ll get it in the mail before I take off. They also have a small description of how you can support me financially. Support wise I’m ok to go, but not where I’d like to be ideally — it could get tight toward the end, so if any of you would like to give and become a financial ministry partner, I would really appreciate it. I’m having trouble updating the biographical information on this giving site, but everything else is accurate https://give.ccci.org/give/0544692
Thanks. Hopefully the next update will come sooner. Drew
