A Retreat, Family, and a Random Thought...

last week cailyn and i got a chance to go to a campus ministers retreat in southern indiana and then we headed up north to spend some time with our families. it was all very good and very refreshing.

being with our families is always good, especially when it is at the lake. we are just very blessed to have the families that we have...

and the retreat....was awesome...

being the first year that we are doing ministry in a lead role, it was particularly good to be able to spend time with other ministers and to reconnect with old friends. it is always good to get back with the people that i love and have learned so much from at Purdue. we also had a chance to listen to a great speaker, don everts. he was incredibly dynamic in his speaking, but more than that, he was down to earth and real, and a great time to hang out with. basketball, disc golf, and poker....it was awesome!


on a side note, i am realizing that i am not all that good at debriefing/breaking down the conversations that i have with other, and particularly students, to figure out how i move forward in my relations with them. it is something that i hope to work on and grow in.
