The Best Brains In Town

Back At Home
Thanks for all your prayers over the past few weeks as Karen and I made our nomadic journey from NC to PA to NY to Canada, and back. Yes, we've safely returned to Good Old Graham and are once again operating out of our GOMEX office. It's nice to be home for a few days as we prepare to leave on a shorter road trip the end of the month. We'll say goodbye to the puppies to participate in a conference at our church in Lancaster, PA. We'll also follow-up with some of the missions-minded students I previously connected with at Lancaster Bible College (where we started our journey one month ago).

The Best Brains In Town
On a personal note, after about a year of searching, I've found the best brains in town.

The Best Brains In Town

Granted, you can't get "Brains-n-Eggs" at Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans...but this morning I was pleasantly surprised to find them as a $5.29 selection (brains, eggs, grits, white toast, grape jelly and all the coffee you can drink) at Stavro's Grill, a local...somewhat iconic...eatery in downtown Burlington. My business compatriot, who was kind enough to take the photo, has been blessed to be with me on each of my three forays into grilled gray cells. I gotta say, after doing the brains-for-breakfast thing at Park Restaurant, Pano's Cafe, and Staro's Grill--Stavro's nailed 'em.

So let's do a great Southern breakfast the next time you're in town and you can make up your own mind!

On The Road: Week 3

Global Outreach Mission Candidate Orientation

Our third week on the road was spent in one location: Pearable Ministries, in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.

What a week! Snow, ice, sun, wind, three home-cooked meals a day, missionaries everywhere, border crossings, ministry, training, more eating, laughter, laughter, laughter everywhere, prayer, songs, counsel, seminars, games, fellowship, office tours, worship, pampering, encouraging, video, PowerPoint, snacks, Niagara Falls at night, coffee, power outages, tea, ministry reports, late nights, little sleep, early mornings, and Kingdom expansion. What a week of blessings, relationships, and sharing from the heart. What a sweet time of togetherness in Christ as YOU enabled us to prepare HIS servants for HIS service in Japan, Philippines, Honduras, North America, and Haiti. 

Here's a little photo album of the week! Enjoy!
