Can you believe that school is about to start back -- that the summer, for all intents and purposes, is over?
BTW - I don't have in my possession the 4th-of-July-in-KS pictures I promised -- yet.
Right after returning from our trip I got slammed with an upper respiratory infection that laid me out for a full week. I had a cough that felt like the end of the world. I'm still on my second round of antibiotics.
Then I lost my voice. Then I strained it, so I chose not to speak for about 4 days and I've been struggling to get it back since. It's been rather difficult for me. I mean -- I'm a singer for cryin' out loud! I also teach voice. There is something disheartening about a vocal coach who can barely croak his way through a conversation, much less actually sing and demonstrate technique. Oy!
Sunday mornings have been brutal leading worship. I've made it through, but barely.
And now I'm back at raising support which means I'm on the phone hour-after-hour.
And waaa, waaa, waa. And waaa, wa waaaa.
Pray for me.
We had a good weekend attending a training seminar for missionaries raising support. It was, on the one hand, brutal and tiring -- 2 days, 10 hours each, sitting on standard church folding chairs -- as well as intense (we spent 26 hours in preparation for the weekend). But on the other hand, it was encouraging, motivating and informative and we came away with some good tools.
That's about it for now.
Peace out...
