Miscellaneous

Hey Guys,

I have a couple of things to talk about:
1. Randall emailed me a few weeks ago. One of the topics in his email was to talk to a friend of his, Bryce Wiley, about possibly joining our team or at least working someplace in NZ. Randall suggested that we discuss this in time for him to come to the assesment if we decide to do so. Let us think about this and pray abou this.

2. Hamish, I like the idea of reading When God Builds a Church together. I have never read it but my lovely wife is a big fan. Good on ya, mate.

3. On a personal note, my 12-year-old nephew and his mom don't really get along. My nephew started with the deck stacked against him (my sister got pregnant at 16, father left when my nephew was 1, that kind of thing). There is also a history of pshyciatric problems in his family. Yesterday my sister took him into a physchiatrist to be evaluated. He got mad and threw a MAJOR fit. My sister really had no option but to call the cops. My nephew, who turned 12 last week, was aprhened by the police, who kicked down a door to get in and carried him off in handcuffs to a pschiatric hospital.
I do not think my nephew is crazy. Homestly, I don't think my sister is doing a great job at being a mom, which has been a significant factor in this problem. Please pray for redemption in the whole situation. Pray that God uses the time that Cody is in South Oaks for the good and not for the bad.
Thanks, I appreciate your prayers.

Joe
