Tonex, Geo-tagging, and a Missed Opportunity

Ran into Tonex at a Ohio Travel Plaza on the way back from a Spring Break family trip at the Kalahari 

in Sandusky, OH. My daughter Adrienne took a picture with him.

Since I took a picture with my iPhone and uploaded it to iPhoto, I remembered about the geo-tagging feature in the latest version of iPhoto. I went into the information about the picture and voilà, it gave me the exact location of where we were in Ohio! Cool feature. Previously, I didn't think geo-tagging was that big a deal. But I was wrong. I think it will be very useful as I travel the globe. I have to remind myself, we are Summit Ministries International :-)

After I left the travel Plaza, I was talking to my band director (Floyd Thomas) about seeing Tonex. And he told me about some of the things that Tonex has been through the past few years. When he told me that, I was a little disappointed because I began to think that I missed an opportunity to minister to him. I don't think it was an accident that we were at the same travel stop at the same time. I really believe that I was supposed to minister to him and encourage him, and I blew it; plain and simple. You probably already know this, but Pastor's miss it too. Purpose to always be sensitive to the Spirit of God and take advantage of every opportunity to minister as the Spirit of God leads you. Because if you miss it, that opportunity may leave you and never return again. I repented, thank God for His love, forgiveness, and mercy.

A cool Fall night at the Jennings crib

Well, this is an exciting night for the Jennings family. We're finally going to do s'mores. A couple of days ago we were all prepared to do the s'mores thing in our backyard with the fire pit. However, it rained on our parade. Now, it hadn't rained in six months, and then when we finally decide to do s'mores, it rains all night. And what's funny about that is, we have been patiently waiting for a day when everybody was home together and when that night came, it pours down raining! Our kids were really excited about it; especially Annika and Adrienne. I must admit, that I'm was a little excited about it too! So tonight if finally happened.

A Day at the Houston Zoo

I was chillin' with the children at the Houston zoo.
What? You were expecting a picture of a tiger, lion, or giraffe?

Live at Adrienne's Graduation/Birthday Party

Carla and I are LIVE in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma at Adrienne's and Kyana's birthday graduation party.

Adrienne Graduation

Adrienne is graduating from Rhema Bible Training Center (Tulsa, OK) this Friday. Carla and I are so proud of her following the call of God on her life. She will be coming home soon to lead the Summit Youth ministry. The D.Montrell concert is coming up, so she will hit the ground running. Coming home with her is another Rhema graduate who will assist her. Summit (members) please join me in welcoming her friend, Kyana to our team. I am excited about getting the youth ministry started again.
