I appreciate the “shout out” from Billy Chia on his blog… http://billychia.com/2008/07/28/huntsville-bloggers/…

Friend and fellow Sojourner Megan Montgomery sent me a link for a really great blog…

http://www.thisisreverb.com/ - Ryan is a pastor in Cinci… Check out the baptism pics… I got emotional looking at them. Can’t wait until Sojourn Baptisms this month.

At the condo in Panama City we have my family (4) Wendy’s sisters family (4) and Wendy’s mom and dad (2)… 10 total in a 2 bedrooms… 800 sq. ft.  I was really restless last night so I started journaling, however, I found deep, profound, meaningful thought evading.  I think I wrote the same idea about 4 times in different ways.  There is still some “hidden” frustration and restlessness that peaked its head up last night.  After an hour wait at Sharky’s we were seated next to a table full of loud drunks.  I did not mind it so much, however, kids were around and the language was not “G” rated.  My brother-n-law turned around and looked at them as if to say, “pipe down”.  They did not get the hint.  He eventually got our waiter to ask them to hold it down.  This only made things worse…but luckily they were finished eating and left.  I thought there might be a fight break out…  the tension was that thick…  Good Grief!!!  How are unregenerate people supposed to act?  We are strangers and pilgrims… on a mission field.  I don’t know… just roll with it.  We cannot expect them to adopt our morals and mindset just because we walk into the room.  I don’t know…  perhaps I have too much tolerance…  I view it as grace.

So sometime tomorrow I guess I will head back to Panera to do some work.  I have a monthly report to finish and submit so I do not get on the “bad list” at work.  It should not take long.  I am also considering staying an extra day just to off set working while I am supose to be relaxing.  This is the pitfalls of management in the corporate world.  arg!!!

This the chair in room 428 at the Holiday Inn on Davis Hwy in Pensacola. Cloth and Leather… it has been the most comfortable chair I have ever had the experience to sit in. I literally sat in this chair all day yesterday (minus food, beer, and bathroom breaks). I am trying to find a way to strap it on the top of the car… do you think anyone would notice? The chair is made by “Flexsteel Industries” so I am assuming it is an industrial furniture company… Google search here I come. If I can buy one direct I will have one.

I wish I could express in some way the level of calm and peace that is finally invading my mind and body. I have heard many people talk about the need for regular sabbatical. This is VERY wise advise. This would be a good area for close friends to keep each other accountable. It is biblical and modeled for us by Jesus.

We are off to Panama City today and will be there four glorious days. There is no Apple store in Pensacola or Panama City. I have decided that I don’t like the clear plastic case I have. It makes the phone too bulky. I am thinking I will get some kind of rubberized case… suggestions? I also left all my good writing pens at the house. I am VERY pick when it comes to writing pens, so the standard BIC with hotel logo will simply not work. So I am keeping my eyes pealed for a Staples (which is always 10%-30% cheaper than Office Depot) so I can indulge my my journal with quality, blue, acid free, gel ink. I know… it is freaky.

More later…
