IN NORTH CAROLINA
I'm here! I had a GREAT drive down. No troubles at all and I didn't even get lost--well, at least not until I got to Winston-Salem! But I found my destination, thanks to cell phone navigation!
On the drive down I saw a car on fire in the opposite lane but there were several lanes and a concrete barricade between me and the burning car. And I was traveling at interstate speed!
Also I almost got a really good book "read" (via audio book tape). It is "90 Minutes In Heaven" by Don Piper. Early this week I finished a great book by John McArthur, "The Truth War".
The weather was perfect on the way down and has been perfect since I got here. Really, really cool (which I like) and every day a cloudless sky!
I've done a lot already since arriving. I am writing this Sunday evening. I think tomorrow I'll have time to post about all I have had the privilege of doing since arriving--plus having a great visit with friends.
The only "blot" on the weekend so far--Alabama didn't win their football game! :(
More soon--I promise!

NEGLECTFUL
I see I haven't Posted in over a month! But it has been a busy month. Some travel for my Company and some pleasure travel. I went to Ohio last weekend and visited some friends.
As soon as I finish this Post I am headed out for North Carolina to visit friends. I'll be gone until October 9th. But I'm counting on having access to a computer all next week and hopefully will have the time to write more in this Journal.
In addition to seeing friends in Winston-Salem, Raleigh and Denver, North Carolina, I am excited about an opportunity I will have next week to share with some students on the Wake Forest Campus (where my friend is a professor). I'm looking forward to meeting with that group of students. I like College Campuses and miss having friends at Rose Hulman in Terre Haute, Indiana, to be able to spend some time on that Campus and attend their great Inter Varsity Large Group meetings. The group I will be meeting with at W.F. is not an IVCF group. It is a group meeting to discuss business ethics, Christian principles and how to balance ministry and business/work. One of the courses my friend teaches at W.F. is Business Ethics.
Gotta run--I'm already 45 minutes later leaving that I had planned.
Hopefully I will write early next week about my trip down and my weekend. Oh yes, my rental this time is a 2007 red Nissan Maximum--so fancy I may have to read the book on this one!
