All righty! I’m back from my whirlwind tour [1]. The trip was a lot of fun and we laughed most of the time. Except, or especially rather, when I twisted my ankle and the recovered and got my fingers slammed in the door of the car. I ate out every night at some wonderful restaurants in various cities and made new friends in my (near) future office. A very good week.
The highlight for me was St. Louis. I got to catch up with my very good friends Carteé [2] and Colleen Bales. He was just back from Kenya and kind of faded around 9:30 or so but I totally understood. It was a great time to compare notes and see what God has been doing in each other’s lives since seminary.
The next day, after we finished our presentation at the store, I got to have lunch with an internet buddy, Zack Becker [3] aka Doc Misterio. Unfortunately, Zack and I didn’t get much time together. We grabbed lunch and talked about Mark Driscoll and about personal matters and about generosity and graciousness in doing theology. Neat young man and I hope to run into him again and have more time.
The best part is that I’m home now.
