Met Pastors Wayne Cochran and Chris Cochran for breakfast. They are en route home from preaching in Michigan. They used our Expedition to haul their bikes in Joe Dykes' trailer. First stop was Thomasville, full of beautiful civil war era homes. Prayed for Jim on Broad Street (main street) who said he he had not eaten in several days. Thinish, badly gapped teeth, mouth with a dark brown edge and has strange brown eyes. He was carrying a bolt cutter. He asked for money for food. We offered to buy him dinner but he said he had a special diet. So we prayed he would find work and that his stomach problems would be healed. Chuck gave him $5 even though he declined our offer to buy him something to eat at the restaurant next door. We overnight in Macon, GA. We dine with Mike McQueen, editor of the Macon Telegraph and a former colleague at FIU. Good conversation, good times. Mike is very happy at the paper although his family is still in Miami.
We had a tour of the city in Mike's Beemer. Interesting place. Macon is either on the verge of total collapse or on the verge of blossoming into one of the great undiscovered cities in the U.S. Downtown redevelopment seems poised to explode but the city has some serious financial problems.
