workshop yesterday

Archie Hughes hosted our workshop yesterday. Once again we had great food prepared by Sergio Garcia of El Siete Mares. Rick Caywood also spoke to us about his ministry. I encourage you to partner with his ministry. Sign up for his emails at http://www.rcmcc.org/.



We plan to do a workshop for widows, widowers and those who've been through traumatic divorces on October 1st. Once again Sergio will provide the food, and it will be held at the Waco Chamber of Commerce, 101 South 3rd Street in Waco. Website is http://www.wacochamber.com/. If you haven't seen their new building, you should go take a tour. It's a great facility.



Our workshop in October will be just to minister, not to discuss any specific financial products or services. God repeatedly admonishes us to care for widows and orphans, so this is one way I wanted to serve.



Also at the workshop, everybody got to see a demonstration of Facebook and Twitter. I also showed my book website, http://www.todayswordonmoney.com/, which now contains a link to the radio interview I did about my book with Tim Wildmon at American Family Radio, http://www.afr.net/: http://www.afr.net/index.php?option=com_sermonspeaker&task=singlesermon&id=12333&Itemid=0

Birthdays!

Well my daughter Ruth turns 16 tomorrow. Wow, it seems like just a couple of years ago that I was knocking on doors and building my Edward Jones practice while Anna was enduring the hot summer of 1993 as a pregant lady!

Ruth has been such a blessing, and she seems to have even more of a gift for salesmanship than her dad. She loves the Lord and is seeking His will for her career path. What a blessing each one of our children is. I love trying to observe and discern their gifts and their processes of maturing, so that (I hope) I can give them good advice and share wisdom about how to become Godly adults.

I welcome readers' comments on what works (or doesn't work) when advising children about the "grown-up" world.
