Brief Update

Thursday and Friday were good days. I visited with our friend from Home Depot. She is truly seeking the Lord. She is also having a difficult time. She has a lot on her. She has assured me that she is interested in attending the Bible study. She also took some time to affirm me, telling me that I was doing a good job as her pastor.
I met with a ministry leader of a nearby campus. She told me of some great needs taking place on the campus of Hofstra University. They need someone who would come and lead a Bible study. I told her to sign me up. We'll see where all of that goes.
Yesterday evening, I played golf with a guy. It was good, though my shoulder is still very tender and I am sure that swinging golf clubs did not help at all. As we concluded the golfing, we continued to chat. We are playing tennis on Sunday afternoon. (don't laugh that I am playing tennis! these moments help me to put aside any pride and dignity that I think I have!)
Finally, please pray for me as I prepare to preach at Farmingdale Baptist Church tomorrow morning. We are looking very forward to being with this congregation.
