What's next?

Well, a few things. I am speaking at Shiloh Baptist Church tomorrow morning at 10 am. This is a dear church in Garner, NC, that a close friend of mine, Mitch Lockamy, pastors. I have shared my testimony there before, once pre-tx & once post-tx. I am looking forward to this privilege. Notably, this will be the first time I have preached since leaving the pastorate 2 yrs ago.

To swimming, I plan on participating in the Annual Lake Gaston Crossing next Saturday, Aug 9. It is a 1 mile swim across the lake for swimmers and non-motorized vessels. This is a good challenge for me, being that it will be the longest distance I have swum, as well as the first in a lake setting.

Further, it enables me to utilize the swimming techniques I have learned through Total Immersion Swimming (see link below). And, if you notice in my bio, I am scheduled to become a certified Teaching Professional for Total Immersion (TI), as of Sept 08. My goal is to begin giving private and group lessons for those wanting to learn to literally "swim like a fish." I am scheduled to begin offering TI swimming instruction at the Kerr Banks YMCA in September.
