My summer is starting to pick up speed. Tonight is my last Wednesday service teaching, and tomorrow night is my last leadership class. They both begin again this coming Fall. Next week, I head to Alaska for a week to work on my boat and do some halibut fishing. When I get back from that, I will have my hip replacement surgery. On June 23rd, I head off on a 600-mile bicycle trip. Then, I head back to Alaska in July for a month of salmon and halibut fishing. I will be home all of August and September, preaching on Sundays at the Evangelical church, writing sermons for this next year, working for my wife, and fishing local spots as much as possible. Sometime in August, I will get my second hip replaced. In October, I am going deer hunting for a week, and then on October 23rd, four days before my birthday, I am heading out on a boat from San Diego for a ten-day tuna fishing trip. I expect to bring home a lot of fish. I hope my summer will go much better when I can walk without pain; that will be awesome. Of all the events on my calendar for this next year, I am really hoping that Jesus coming for us is one of them. From all that is happening in the news, it looks like it could be soon. Those who have their minds set on heaven live life with more joy, energy, and purpose. Every night, I pray, “Lord, please come tonight,” and every morning, I pray, “Lord, I am going to live today as if it is my last before You come. Please open doors for me and give me the wisdom and strength to serve You well.”
