I’m looking forward to teaching at the Red River Family Encampment this coming weekend and next week. That said, I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing Lea Ellen Lawlis, the wife of the organizer of the encampment, Jerry Lawlis. Please lift him up in prayer during this hard time.

I’m leading three classes in Spanish on Saturday, using material from Church Inside Out. Then I’ll be presenting much of the same material in English on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

Later next week, I’ll be making a quick trip to the Summer Celebration at Lipscomb University. Forces beyond my control will prevent me from being able to spend much time there, but I will be at the Hope For Life breakfast in the Shamblin Theater at 7 a.m. Friday morning and will teach a class in the Shamblin Theater at 8:10 a.m. The class will also be focused on Church Inside Out. (Are you detecting a theme?)

If any of you plan to be at these events, I very much hope to get to see you there.
