First day back at work after being out sick on Thursday and Friday and I’m bone-tired. After the convention on Saturday, I slept for four hours and then due to all that sleep was up until 2:30am. Woke up Sunday a bit later than I wanted and forced myself to remain awake so that I could get a full night’s sleep (didn’t really work… Nyquil induced sleep always leaves me in a fog for hours the next day).
But… I feel a lot better today. Good thing too since we go to the Transforming Culture conference tomorrow. It lasts from Tuesday through Thursday and they’re all day marathons. So… may not be posting much while we’re gone – but we’ll see since my BlackBerry post experiment went off without a hitch on Saturday.
I’m excited about the conference, both my wife and I are going together and I’m looking forward to some great conversation builders while we’re there and once we get back. So, please be praying for us as we attend this and that we would both hear God’s voice and draw near to Him while we attend.
Hopefully, you see in these writings a man who is staying The Course and pursuing The Path amidst the pitfalls and selfish ways of being a son of Adam. I pray earnestly that my writing would encourage some of you by showing you that this journey - though arduous and sometimes tragic - is a journey of great satisfaction. A satisfaction greater than our greatest imaginings. The trials and refining fire of tribulation are to be recognized as a small shadow of the suffering of our Savior so that we can rejoice, as Peter and the disciples did, to be counted worthy to suffer for the sake of the Name.
