a good friend got stranded at the airport tonite, so her husband and i went on a journey in between the storms. it snowed all day and we’ve probably got about 5 inches on the ground, but they’re calling for another 10 tomorrow! amazing stuff. glad we’ve still got the big black assualt vehicle because it made it real simple. great conversations both ways, although i would have had alittle more fun at home. glad we could do the trip.

newpointe
just getting ready to head out with our kidz team to visit our pals at newpoint in sugarcreek. should be fun. we’re taking along my pal craig from the mentoring program who also does the kidz stuff at new life. wanted to post some cool…literally pics from around rose’s backyard. more winter stuff on the way tomorrow. imagine.
greatness
in another place and in another time, i was blessed to spend time with people of greatness. this week one of those individuals passed on…william f. buckley, jr. that brought back the memory of a trip rose and i took about a decade ago through the inside passage of the alaskan territory. on that trip was several other notables including the champion of freemarkets…milton friedman. the picture is from a panel conversation on the cruise ship. the other pictures are from our floatplane flyover of a glacier and of an alaskan sunset. all great memories. i love this picture of wfb and milton and offer it as a tribute to all that together they offered our american political system. milton passed a few years ago. but their legacy continues still.
back home
it wasn’t even 24 hrs. but i’m back home. crazy road trips. but it was good to connect. got a chance to meet some new friends of sorts at the breakout session this morning. sue mallory and chris hardy. sat through an excellent discussion of developing high performance ministry teams. i had read several of sue’s books in seminary and it was good to hear her heart and passion for taking it up a notch. the larger group session was very good too. we walked through the theme of “climb”. an edgy time of reflection was offered after hearing craig’s story. the reflection was based on our on woundings and healings.
i was blessed to reconnect with ben a fellow pdym networking guy. we had met at the gathering this past fall. we ended up having lunch together. we went back to the hall and helped do some load out stuff. there were these crazy stuffed chairs and they were just too much fun. good thing was that they sold like 40 of these guys. so we only had to move 60 of them. and of course the loading dock was all the way on the other side of the building. they remind of that old 50s cult classic….the blob. i thought about bring one home, but it wouldn’t have fit in the car. the are incredibly soft. 
so i’m stuck up north…but you could benefit…
