Well, we began our family vacation today. It’s the first time in four years<\/strong> that our whole family has been able to get away (Saralynn<\/a> and I have a couple of times alone). It also happens to be the seven-year anniversary<\/strong> of my role as the Lead Pastor at Oak Tree Community Church<\/a>, which means that some sort of Sabbath<\/a> is in order. And so we have taken the month of June to play hard together.<\/p>\n

This won’t be all play time, though. I have some days scheduled for studying and writing. \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0628 \u062a\u0631\u0628\u062d \u0641\u0644\u0648\u0633 \u062d\u0642\u064a\u0642\u064a\u0629<\/a> I plan to post here (nearly) every day, both to keep in touch with you and to share some things I learn along the way. \u0628\u0644\u0627\u0643 \u062c\u0627\u0643 \u0627\u0648\u0646 \u0644\u0627\u064a\u0646<\/a> For instance, I was reminded that today is the official first day of hurricane season<\/strong>. Yay!<\/em><\/p>\n

Seriously, I did learn two things today that I want you to keep in your prayers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My brother-in-law, Stephen, found out today that the company where he has worked his entire adult life is being closed. He is losing his job.<\/li>\n
  2. My cousin, Eric, was told that the lump on his neck that they thought was just a fatty cyst is actually a cancerous tumor of some kind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please pray for both of these men. Their relationships with God – Eric’s brand new, Stephen’s much older – will be tested greatly in the coming days and weeks. Pray for their families, too – their wives, Sarah (my sister) and Angela (my cousin) and their children. \u0644\u0639\u0628 \u0628\u064a\u0646\u062c\u0648<\/a> <\/p>\n

    That’s where we close today. After driving most of 21 hours from noon yesterday through this morning, I’m tired. Talk to you tomorrow.<\/p>\n

    Until then, keep an eye on my growing vacation photo album on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
