Its beginning to look a little like Christmas

It's the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations are going up.

Thanksgiving with the Price Family

Walter (our pastor) and Janet Price invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving with their family.

A Weekend with Robert Hooker

I spent the weekend with Robert Hooker and the First Baptist Church of Huber Heights, Ohio. Friday and Saturday I led a retreat for the pastoral staff and the deacons (Ron Franks has joined Robert as Minister of Education). The retreat sight was beautiful. On Sunday morning I preach at the two campuses (the church is one church in two locations). On Sunday evening I did a consultation with the church on their challenges and future. It was such a joy to be with Robert, Ron and their families!

Janet in Memphis

While I was in Egypt, Janet went to Memphis to be with Micah, Jeff, Bryar & Avery for 13 days.

Birthday Boy

Janet was excited to be there for Bryar's seventh birthday and three birthday parties!

Mid-South Fair & Block Party

It was a busy 13 days that include a trip to the Mid-South Fair and a block party by Faith Baptist Church.

Last Night Out

After returning from teaching pastors in Alexandria, it was back to Cairo for house church, a last evening out with the kids, preaching Sunday at FBC Cairo, and getting ready to fly out Monday. Tonight we went to the mall. I promised the kids a visit to Toys R Us. It is Ramadan and stores are closed at odd times. We got to the mall at 4:00 and Toys R Us was closed so we ate at On the Border. Toys R Us finally opened at 8:10 but to watch Matthew Ray, Madison and Meredith it was worth it!

Teaching Egyptian Pastors

The reason for this trip was to teach Egyptian Baptist pastors and talk about a partership in Theological Education. Matt accompanied to Alexandria for the teaching session but had to leave after the first day because of a serious eye infection. I was sad he was not there, but the teaching and relationship with the pastors was fantastic. There is nothing I enjoy more than teaching cross-cultural pastors.

A Date Night with Meredith

Meredith and I have been talking about a date night for months. Just the two of us went out to the Mall, to Maccaroni Grill, and then to have ice cream.

Back to Egypt

When I arrived, the first order of businsess was to open gifts. It is always such an exciting and happy time.
