Today was his first day of training in Belton, TX. He’s the guy in black pants and red shirt, his opponent is a 3rd grader from Belton Elementary. And yes…this is a true story.

John is in the process of moving to Austin to start a new faith community this summer. You can follow his church planting journey here.

If you’re a pastor/minister here in Austin please do me a favor and head over to John’s blog (pick one sucker) and say hello.

Also, pray for John and his family as they transition, raise funds and most of all deal with the reality that they can no longer go to Zoka to drink coffee. Of course they could always bring some Zoka to Austin this summer to give to their good friends who already reside here. Just saying.

I told my daughter about the Chandler’s movin to Austin last night at dinner. Her response…”Dad, I’m no longer going to Vista, I’m going to Macy’s dad’s new church.”

They are doing some great stuff in Sub-Sahara Africa. Anyhow, I’m trying to set up some meetings-it will be a great time to hear what God is doing in Africa and maybe find some practical ways that you and your church/ministry can help.

So if you have time to hang and grab some coffee/lunch-please let me know.

I’ve got to hit the gym hard next month. My “healthy” eating has been flushed down the toilet the past few weeks. So many great places to grub-it’s ridiculous.

BTW-Football starts soon. WOO HOO!

I took them to Magnolia Cafe for lunch-that place rocks. Then they went shopping in the SoCo district and I did some work at Dominican Joe’s.

After that we headed up north, picked up the girls and hit up Waterloo.

Man I feel fat, full and tired.
