Whew! What a week it's been! We are in day 2 of Victory Week 2 here. The staff are slowly, but surely, adjusting to the "conference week" schedule as opposed to the "guest group" schedule. It is much busier for them--all of the departments are definitely in full swing.

From the leadership end...things are going fairly well. I am still recovering from having my wisdom teeth pulled out so much to the delight of the staff, I had chipmunk cheeks and they are now a pretty green tinge from the bruising. Many pictures were snapped. :) Praise the Lord that He has strengthened and energized the Leadership Team daily to be able to lead with excellence.

Healthwise, we had our first "incident" last night when one of the staff had pretty severe pain from sunburn. Long story short, we took a ride to the ER where we recieved pain medication and all is well this morning. I told him "there's always one every year..." so here's to praying that last night was the only "one"! Otherwise, the staff has remained in good health overall.

This Friday we are taking our annual trip to Six Flags Great Adventure! The kids are all excited for some time away to have some fun. Also coming up: Iron Chef 2009 (August 8); Talent Show (tentatively August 14).

I have pictures on my facebook profile--here is the link if you're interested! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2235687&id=55705017&l=288173abcb

Prayer concerns:
-continued strength and energy for the staff
-wisdom for the leadership
-a continued spirit of unity among each department and for the staff as a whole
-that God would use this coming week in the life of every staffer


Love!
