Friday

Well, what a week. I feel really refreshed and charged after my trip to Montana. It was a needed escape for me and time for God to speak to me and challenge me for my trip next week to Africa. In fact, this time next week, I should be in Botswana. I am looking forward to what God has in store and excited and scared too. But, I have laid it all in God's hands. Tricia is going to have more back-up support than she will need from our good friends here in Greer and elsewhere.

Today, Miles and I are going to the Bohemian to see one of the true pioneers of music, especially bluegrass. Jerry Douglas is giving a free show at Horizon/Bohemian. Jerry is like the Hendrix of Dobro. He also plays in Alison Kraus' Union Station band. It's going to be so much fun. We are also going to head over to Paris Mountain State Park to see a jazz band tomorrow afternoon. The boys will get a kick out of the fact that the band is all under 18 but they are great. The band is called Jazz the Ripper and it's funky jazz, one of my favorites.

We are also going to try and finish the fort and zip line tomorrow if all goes as planned. The boys, especially Dylan, are enjoying the fort. Well, gotta run, my conference call is starting.

Enjoy your weekend!

See ya!
