Right after our church gathering on Sunday, I left for our annual Foursquare Connection in Dallas, TX. The event happens Monday - Thursday, so as I'm writing this on Tuesday night, we're halfway through. Foursquare Connection is the annual gathering of our Foursquare pastors. It's kind...

I'm in Chicago on a couple hour layover. It's 4:10 am according to my body, but Chicago believes it's 6:10 am. I left LAX at about 10:45 pm. All this makes for a short night, but I'm sure my body will painfully remind me of...

This was the final day of our annual Foursquare Connection. A good one as well. Started off at 8:15 am (that's 5:15 am my time!) with the final business session, where a couple of final reports were presented and votes were cast for some bylaw...

Full day! After a great morning session with Ed Stetzer, the Advancing Leaders Collaborative Learning Tracks went for several hours with a break for lunch. I had the opportunity to share lunch with a new friend today. Pastor Alex Prokopchik serves as Pastor of the...

The morning started out very nicely and continued on through the day. I mentioned last night that if one were to try to keep up with the entirety of the Convention schedule, you would be at meetings from 8:30 am through at least 9:30 pm...

Yesterday ended quite badly, starting with arriving to my hotel room at about 2:00 am Columbus time. That in and of itself was not entirely a bad thing. It was buffered by a great conversation with a guy I sat with on the plane from...

At the end of what I am considering our "first week" without Jonathan, all seems to be well. While Jonathan has been gone for 8 weeks now, I think of this as our first week because even though he was in Oregon for 5 weeks...

Haven't updated in a while, so I thought I'd do so after a little news now. After going back on the Reglan, the shakes and "crawling out of my skin" feeling came back pretty strong. The GI doc lowered the dose twice over a week and...

If you're savvy to another title for these posts I'll do once in a while during the sabbatical other than "Sabbatical Serenades", let me know. I'm open. Couldn't come up with anything more creative or alliteratorical (is that a word?) alliterative (Thanks David Simkovsky!!). We are...
