I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane...

Johanna and I fly out early Wednesday morning to St. Louis, MO to spend a few days at the National Youth Workers Convention...It's that time of year again when the incredible people at Youth Specialties spend a few weekends pouring into the lives of Youth Workers across the nation. I am PUMPED, for a couple of reasons. I LOVE the NYWC and I don't throw that "love" word around...It is an incredible time of renewal and refreshment. I also am pumped because I know I'll come away with some great, challenging stuff from the sessions and the learning opportunities...But most of all, I am super excited to be around FAMILY. Johanna and I are meeting two of my closest friends and their wives, who are also Youth Ministers, at the convention...And that will be great because we always have so much fun together...But it is more than just that family that I am excited to be around...We get to be around Youth Worker Family...Those people who know, and understand, and get it...And I cannot wait...I need this and it is coming at just the right time...Not sure what the hotel internet situation will be like, but I am planning on blogging so check back for updates from now until next Monday...I hope the rest of your week is as absolutely incredible as mine will be...
