Hello all!! Greetings from Mobile, AL.  We arrived her yesterday afternoon and checked into our hotel and got a room facing Mobile Bay on the 21st floor overlooking the retired battleship, USS Alabama.  The fireworks went off right over the ship yesterday so we had a spectacular view.  

The trip so far has been fantastic.  We had a safe trip down here and Rashod sleeping most of the way.  We checked into our hotel in Baton Rouge and Tammy and I slept very well.  Thursday we woke up and went to Angola and had a great visit with George.  When we left Rashod commented on how wonderful a visit it was.  George was so happy to see his son and visit with us too.  The prison officials were great as usual.  I believe that God was in every step of this journey so far. 

We dropped Rashod off in Baton Rouge yesterday where he caught the buses to Word of Life in Schroon Lake, NY.  The busses left right on time with 84 children of inmates.  What a blessing to see so many of them loading up to have a week of spiritual influence in a place that is a lot of fun.  The charter busses looked brand new and were beautiful and looked to be very comfortable.  Please pray that Rashod and the other kids have a great time on their journey. 

I check in to the conference tomorrow.  I have already seen a few of the other chaplains and they are looking forward to a great conference as well. 

I will be praying for all of you back at FVBC tomorrow. Have a great service tomorrow.  Because of Him, Pastor.
