Hope for the Website!

After a good prayer breakfast with Mission Mississippi this morning, I finally got together with a friend about the PrayerPaddle website. In case you hadn't noticed, it's still pretty much in "temporary" mode. Hopefully that will change over the next few weeks as we get it spruced up, resolve some browser-dependent problems, and add a lot more goodies. My immediate action item was to get this blog started. So put me into your blog reader (I like Google Reader within iGoogle) and come along for the ride!

With the start of a new semester and the approaching due date for my university tenure application, work has been keeping me pretty busy lately. Hurricane season is proving to be a bit of a distraction too. Although Fay didn't really have much impact on our area, it looks like Gustav could be a bit messier to deal with. I've also been busy with two community meetings this week, a "Men's Night Out" last week, preparations for my church's revival/homecoming, and family dentist appointments. In any case, I'm trying to make sure I get in a some paddling each week, to build up my kayak skills and strength for next summer. So I plan to head back out to Ross Barnett Reservoir this weekend before Gustav gets too close.
