My latest freelance project for the ELCA is now online. Follow the link below, if you'd like to see it. It's a pdf file, so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open it. It doesn't look as good as it should, in my opinion. After I completed the project (in May?), some editorial changes were made, and I think it they messed up the print quality.

I finished the second page of the MissionTrek comic today. I may be able to get a third page done tomorrow. In total, counting the opening credits slide, and the "Easter Egg" slides, there are about 20 slides so far.

Scott and I met Marlowe for lunch this morning. Last night, Scott and I met Mom and Dad at the Ohio State Fair (it was opening day) for dinner. Then Mom and Dad went to a free concert featuring the Turtles and other 'Oldies' groups. Scott and I walked around with Bill (a friend of ours from high school), his wife Angel, and members of the young adult group at Scott's church.

I went to Jazzercize tonight, as well as Monday and Tuesday evenings. Tonight's class was in the new facility, which is nice, but riddled with acoustical problems.

On Tuesday night, I phoned Matt H., one of my best friends from my college days and a person who had a profound impact on my faith. He is living in Medina, Ohio. We had a good conversation, and we're planning to get together later in the month.

After Leadership Training School last week, I spent the weekend at Lake Luther for Lake LutherFest, a small-scale Christian music festival. It was a great weekend. My friend Peter (from LTS 2000) came down from Michigan Friday and spent most of Saturday at camp as well. Megan "Mo," another friend from LTS 2000 was also there most of the weekend. On Sunday, Peter, Mo, my friend Kim, and I met for dinner at Pizza Hut in Fort Wayne--the restaurant where Kati works (another LTS 2000 alumna). We had a good time. I also got to see Kim's newest granddaughter and shop at a comic book store in Fort Wayne.

On the way back from Fort Wayne, I tried to stop at the [Neil] Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta, but it is closed on Mondays. Perhaps another time...
