Dear Lord, this is turning into my once a day every five days or more blog, and to be honest it is really nagging at me. It took me so very long to finally get my laptop and software issues resolved, but now that they are, you would think I could get back into a rhythm. Of course that would indicate some sort of normal intelligence, so I suppose that this just may be par for the course. I certainly still feel as if I am underwater, and it doesn’t look like there is an end to it until mid-October.

The good news is that I still seem to be alive and kicking. Scotty was sick today, but everyone else seems fine. Ben has a lot more energy today than others days because Scott and he did not get to wrestle all afternoon to wear him out. And since Steph was doing homework there was no one to tag-team him with me. Amanda hurt her foot over the weekend, so wrestling is out for her, but she doesn’t like the tights and masks we wear anyway so she normally doesn’t take part….a real party-pooper she is!

But the day is ended and Scott seems better, Steph is back to her homework, Ben is in a bed (whose is hard to tell), but with Amanda missing I am pretty sure it’s ours. AND, this entry here is a testament not only to my ending the day, but the recovery of a little bit of my mind. It is frustrating to not remember, but it does feel good when I do. Please keep praying for me that my memory goes at least to “selective” because that is really the only damaged memory type I feel I could live with….i.e. “I really do not know who ate all that pizza.”

Anyway, it has been a blessed day, particularly the end. My hope and prayer is that yours was blessed as well.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless.

Yep, I begin with a quote from my favorite actor….Peter Sellers. It seemed quite fitting in that I have been struggling for a couple of weeks to get my laptop back to full-function all while spending tons of time in Kokomo finishing up the new facility, Christ the King, that launches on Saturday.

I have had a little time this morning however, just enough time in fact, to put the final tweaks on the programs. The website program is now back, and of course now I am able to post here. It is amazing what we can accomplish if we just have the time!

And I got the time by heading out of town. I am currently in a hotel in Arcadia, California where I have been to attend the consecration of one of my friends, Doc Loomis. Doc is now a Bishop in the Anglican Mission in the Americas (AMiA) and of course the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). He will be a good one too. He is one of the hardest working guys I know, and a great and Godly leader. I was blessed to be a part. AND, I will talk about the service within the next few days and some of what has happened out here too.

I had a horrendous time getting out here with flights yesterday. I was to be here with 5 hours to spare, but it was only an hour after all the mess…..partly my fault, and partly United’s. But hopefully the trip home tonight will go better. I land at 1:08 am, and am scheduled to be in Kokomo early the next morning. Let’s pray I am not driving directly there! I have a meeting here to go to before heading to the airport. So far so good…..it is looking like a smooth day!

Thanks however to my wife for working so hard to make my coming out here not just easier, but possible. She is a great gal. But I will not wake her up tonight when I get home. When she is asleep she is still a great gal…..but to wake her up a great gal BEAR! I will make it up to her!

Surfer-land greetings to you all! I am looking forward to returning home….after all, I am not very narly dude.

God Bless!
