THURSDAY 6/17

YESTERDAY WE TOOK MOST ALL OF THE TOOLS AND SOME FOOD STUFFS OUT TO SHYUMACHI. COLYA WAS SICK SO IT WAS JEB AND I AND THE LITTLE GUYS. (NOT THAT LITTLE ANYMORE). RAINED PRETTY GOOD IN THE EVENING WHEN WE GOT BACK AND THE LITTLE GUYS AND I GOT CAUGHT IN IT WHILE WORKING OUT AT THE STADIUM.

TODAY I HEAD OUT TO DESNAGORSK FOR A VISIT TO THE REHAB CENTER THERE. JEB WILL BE IN TOWN GETTING SOME OF THE FINAL THINGS NEEDED FOR THE GROUP. TODAY WILL BE LONG.

THE WEATHER IS REALLY COOL. WAY COOL. JACKET COOL. IT'S JUNE 17TH.

JEFF AND COURTNEY SHOULD ARRIVE THIS EVENING AS WELL. I THINK THEY GOT ON. I THINK. I HOPE. HAVEN'T HEARD, SO THEY MUST HAVE. RIGHT?

HOW'D YOU USE YOUR GIFTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT YESTERDAY? IF YOU READ THE WORD, YOU'LL FIND THAT GOD IS THE BEST ENCOURAGER. OF COURSE. HE OFTEN TELLS US OF HIS LOVE FOR US. HE OFTEN TELLS US HOW SPECIAL WE ARE TO HIM. HE LETS US KNOW HOW WONDERFUL AND SPECIAL WE ARE TO HIM. IF WE ARE TO BE LIKE HIM AND HIS SON, WE ARE TO IMCORPORATE HIS CHARACTER IN OUR LIVES AS WELL. THERE IS NO MORE IMPORTANT JOB FOR US AT GWOF? HOW YOU DOING WITH THAT?

LOVE YA'LL. YA'LL LOVE EACH OTHER.
