It's been a busy week with work at my church, my Tuesday night class, snowy weather (which requires twice as long to complete even the simplest trip by car), and getting ready for my trip to Arkansas and Colorado. Today I make two presentations to the management and trainers at Wal Mart in Bentonville.  I will be introducing The Pacific Institute training in the morning and doing a talk on servant-leadership in the afternoon.  Then I will move on to Colorado on Saturday (Grand Junction to be exact) to work with my friends Ted and Tami Miller at the Assembly of God church.  They are having a winter meeting for their church with the theme of "Stir!" and I'm sure the purpose message will do just that.

On the horizon is my trip to Kenya in February and the next class in my D Min program, which will be Biblical Counseling.  I think I am behind on my reading for that class and I know I am behind on my papers.  What's more, I have two of my cohorts papers to read and make comments due by the 17th.  I will have to do those on the plane at some point. 

Keep in mind, I am not complaining.  I am enjoying it all and the unknown of how I can possibly get it all done.  I am not even taking it one day at a time, but one hour at a time and savoring every moment.  After all, I am doing important work with wonderful people.  What's not to enjoy?  At any rate, I am about to get on a plane and I will spend the first part of my trip planning the next four or five days, planning my work so I cam work my plan.

At any rate, it's on to the next event.  Stay tuned for udpates from the road.
