Homeward Bound

I'm in the Atlanta airport awaiting my flight home. I preached last
night for the Missions Conference at FBC Temple Terrace (Tampa) FL.


They and their Pastor, Jeff Williams, have a heart hot for the Great
Commission. My heart was stirred again for unbelievers.


Speaking of missions, IMB President Jerry Rankin yesterday announced
his resignation. He has been a dear friend and confidante to me. I
will miss him.


As I write these words, our church staff is having a surprise
celebration for Russell and Lucille Sanders. Today is their 60th
wedding anniversary. Lucille must have been 10 when they married.


I wonder if Russell is wearing his "I Like Ike" tie and button in
honor of the occasion. Surely not.
