  • step three

    the boat finally arrived in Dublin. It took us nearly a week to get here and we are very tired and suffering from scurvy. p.s. Dave, the lamb had plenty of room between us. After takeoff, he fell asleep. 🙂

  • “OK, get out of here”

    These are the words of my 6 year old, Megan as we lingered at our friends house in dropping them off. Paul reassured us, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 days isn’t very long at all. We finally finished packing, we’ve taken care of all the details we know how to… and we’re off. Check back soon as we’ll be…

  • Avoiding the big pack

    Not quite sure why… but Kristen and I still aren’t motivated to pack for our trip. We really want to go but we’re just being lazy. We gotta get it done.

  • long (GREAT) day

    Ppppphhhhffffttttt. BBalalalalalalalabbbbb. That’s kind of how I feel right now. We got up early this morning to head the Detroit Core training event. Marv Penner did a great job painting the picture for how our ministry should/could better serve hurting kids. I loved the training… though I can see how a training event like that…

  • I’m Here!

    After a rainy drive and a restless night of sleep (roughly $20/hour for that nap.) I am here at the Duke Energy Center in Cincy. The convention areas look perfect for the weekend. I’ve been watching and observing a lot of the fun stuff here so far. I’m going to be especially interested to notice…

  • We’re Back

    It’s 12:53 am, well past my bedtime. We just got back from Niagra Falls. It was a great trip. It was good seeing some family and really cool to see the falls. I am sure Kristen will be uploading the pics from her camera in the morning. p.s. Making a cool, yet weird connection thanks…

  • Off to Canadia

    It’s 7:35 am and we are already running late. We had anticipated leaving the house at 8:00 am for Niagara Falls… but that’s not going to happen. Only Kristen and I are awake and I still have to gas up the car, get packed, get everyone set… on and on. So we’re off until Tuesday…

  • Hurricane Damage

    We were here about 20 minutes before I started noticing a lot of damage. If you were ignorant of last falls storm season you would think that Ft. Lauderdale was having a construction boom. No boom, just replacing stuff. As we flew in you could see many houses with the telltale blue tarp roof of…

  • Founder Week Day One

    It’s been a long but good day. I woke up at about 5:30 this morning and it’s now 11:20 PM and I am sensing the pillows call. All-in-all it’s been a solid day. Everything has gone according to plan and on schedule. I love it when a plan comes together. Here are some thoughts from…

  • Off to Founders Week

    Bob and I (and Dwaine!) are leaving this morning for Chicago. We’ll be attending Moody’s Founder Week. I’m looking forward to spending time with the guys and hanging out a bit around my alma mater. We’ll be back Saturday night. Since the hotel has wireless and all, I know I’ll be updating.
