glad I came!

All right, I'll be honest. I don't like traveling without my wife. I don't like anything about it - flying or driving by myself...(especially) eating alone...just the whole thing. So I left today somewhat reluctantly, out of respect of Dr. David Shibley and his personal appeal to me to attend. Then my nonstop flight was cancelled and I had to scramble to make new connections and get here just in time for the opening session.

BUT boy, am I glad I came! Just this opening session from Dr. Shibley on "Evangelism in the Local Church" was worth the trip - and there's 3 more sessions to go with a legendary seminar professor on this same subject of evangelism.

Just yesterday in our creative team planning meeting we laid the groundwork for a new series in April that exactly coincides with this retreat theme, and after today, I'm especially jazzed! Now I can't wait to get home and share...
