Today’s journey takes Kathy and me to South Carolina.  It would be nice if I could say there is some dynamic reason for this location, but there isn’t.  It is a place neither of us have gone and we like to explore new places.  It is also housing some of the Appalachian Mountains where the colors should be rich about now.  Next to the colors I want to have a week of Southern cooking.  I don’t want the spiciness of it, but I do love fried chicken and ribs, cobblers, and more!

I’m also taking several materials I want to simply have time to investigate.  These center around the recovery ministries I’d like to see us use this coming year at church.  They are childhood abuse and homosexuality.  These two topics are like deserts in many churches.  People know about them but they don’t know how to respond to someone desiring help overcoming the bondage of them.  I know them well and have hidden the effects of them on my life.  I know God is wanting me to use my experiences as His tools the rest of my life.  So, this time will be good allowing me to walk the path and let God speak.

I’m also working with a couple schools for the remainder of this school year–June of 2018.  I’m taking some materials they are wanting to implement so I can be of good assistance for them.  All in all, this will be a time for God to have His Way with Kathy and me.  We will be driving all over a few states bordering S. Carolina and the three of us will have time just for us.  I treasure this opportunity.  God is so Good!
