For those of you that are close to me, you know how I really thrive being around people. I am a relational person. Today, I finally saw Kelly and the girls for a few minutes around dinner. After four days of non-stop people, I told her I couldn’t wait to get back to Miami where I won’t see someone I know every 15 feet. You know I’m tired if I say something like that. I’ve now retreated into my room. I’m skipping the service tonight. Roland Vaughn, the Director of World Missions is speaking. I guess I’ll get the DVD. I want to be there but I am just shot.
Today, a series of measures came to the floor concerning our church government. I will save the "politi-speak" for another venue. Summing it up, I was mostly glad about the outcome. I am still a little ticked off over how World Missions was treated yesterday. But, hey…what can I do?!?
A final thought about the business was that I loved Robert Carey’s Jonah illustration about the Captiain, the four mates, and the 18 crew members. I really enjoyed his wit. Harold Bare spoke a couple times. He did not say anything especially profound. He did have an excellent point about the videos. I guess I just think the world of that guy.
In about an hour, I’m going over to the Lee Alumni reception. I’ll see some old friends, hob nob with some important folks, ask Paul Conn when he is going to invite me to speak at a Lee University Chapel service (hook a brother up!), and then hang out with some really cool, young minded pastors to hopefully develop a network of young leaders that can resource one another, share best practices, and stay in touch with one another in an ongoing basis.
