Whew.
What a weekend.
Overview:The National Youth Ministry Conference in Columbus was incredible. Low-level, in the trenches, personal, not pretentious, not full of itself. The people who spoke seemed like they they knew ministry, not ministry theory, ministry practical. All of the tracks were great, and my Affinity Group was a great way to connect. I have come to the conclusion the our ministry is just getting started. I was humbled in a large way in the "Helping Hurting Kids" track. I am scared, nervous and excited because of what is happening and what has happened and what will happen in the future. God is good.
Both concerts, Caedmon's Call and Derek Webb were great, as were the q&a sessions afterward. We got home Monday evening, about 9pm-ish. And, I got to go to OSU Stadium...I mean I got to go IN OSU Stadium.
Tuesday:
Yesterday morning, my daughter woke up with strong stomach pain, at one point she blacked out, so I took her to the ER. She was admitted to the hospital for observation and tests. After several hours of this, they sent her home. She woke up this morning a little sore, but better overall.
I talked to Phil via Facebook chat for 45 minutes yesterday.
Last night, Nate, John, and one of our youth group students went to the OSU/Iowa men's basketball game in Iowa City. It was a great game, Iowa had a last chance at the buzzer, but the ball bounced off the rim, and OSU won. Got home last night about 10:30pm.
Today:
Woke up and had a good time of prayer and scripture reading. Ate breakfast with the fam, and then went to see a member who had been taken to the hospital over night.
The Rest of the Week:
Need to write a youth group lesson for tonight. Need to work on d-group and Sunday school lessons for next week. Chemo for Anne is tomorrow. Meeting with a student and his parents on Saturday. Putting the carpet in the Crown Vic on Saturday.
No Line on the Horizon
Wow. The soundtrack to my week. More on this later.
