+ Just back from JFK, dropping off our son Jonathan and his children for their return flight to Dallas this evening. So good having them here. The place is very quiet without the kids.

+ Watching the Mets/Yankees game since I’m a loyal fan. Not expecting much from this Mets line-up, consisting of substitutes for the greater part, but you never know – that’s why they play the game.

+ Church was great today, band did great and Craig Groeschel brought an outstanding message for the final part of our One Prayer series. That guy is the real deal.

+ I haven’t checked the figures, but I have the notion that the last Sunday in June is one of our smallest attendances of the year. Looked that way. Several high schools did graduations today and that affected us. I heard that the NYC Schools’ Chancellor will personally present her diploma to a Jewish student in the city who can’t make her graduation ceremony because it’s on the sabbath. They don’t give a darn about Christians out here, so they do everything on a Sunday instead.

+ Met some new folks today – some good people.

+ We were down four key guys for set-up this morning, but those who were there did a phenomenal job.

+ Talked to an excited lady who had been praying for a neighbor for years and saw here come into the movie theater today. She told me she’ll be back.

+ Four weeks from tonight I fly to India – not really ready for more travel at the moment, but hopefully I will be by then. Flying Air India for the first time after avoiding it for years. I hear they have better planes now – we’ll see!

+ This week we’re checking out some of the equipment we already have that we will be putting into service in Mastic. Need a ton of stuff over the next few weeks so that we can be fully operational out there from day one.

+ Yankees fans weren’t very gracious today.

+ We had lunch at the Metropolis Diner on Rte 112 in Medford. I reckon it’s the best diner around and though it’s a hike from Ronkonkoma, it’s well worth it.

+ New series starts next Sunday – Keepin’ It Real. Looking forward to a few weeks in Acts, seeing church as God intended it.
