on the road again

I'm headed out this morning to the Global Advance Pastor's Retreat in Branson, MO. This meeting has been one of the highlights for our year the past few years, as Chris & I have really enjoyed the opportunity to fellowship with some of the leading missions-minded pastors in America, and enjoy a relaxed pace in scenic Branson, too.

This time, because of our recent trip to Asia, we had decided not to attend. However, Dr. David Shibley persuaded me to come alone, mainly because of the special guest speaker who will be sharing in all our sessions. So, here I go this morning, weary in body but excited in spirit about what I'll receive in the next 2 days.

I'll be back on Friday to gear up for our opening weekend in South Bend - that's what I'm most excited about!
