:(

Dear Friends,

Today had an odd flavor to it--kinda bland and lacking color.

I'm not sure how to describe today. It's was a pretty normal day--for me anyway. I met with a young man and helped him apply for an distance learning school so he could finish his high school diploma. I met with my co-workers to catch up on the past week. I went for coffee with a young man and he shared about some poor choices he'd made. I fixed my friends cell phone. I watched a movie with my wife.

It was a good day but I can tell that my reserves are still low. I seem to be battling with my old friend discouragement. I know him well. It's clear to me that I need take some more time to retreat with Jesus this week.

I covet your prayers.

Sincerly,

-Derian
