Orlando

Well, I’m off to beautiful sunny Orlando, Florida in about two hours! The last time I was in Orlando it was to go to Disneyworld. I was an acne covered, scrawny, and somewhat handsome fifteen year old.

This time around, however, there will be no six foot mice greeting me. Instead I’m on my way to the Exponential Conference to hear some of the greatest speakers in church planting from around the globe (speaking of globes, I really wanted to buy one at Goodwill the other day). I’m looking for any and every way that I can grow myself into a better leader and a more healthy church planter.

Pray for the trip, but most of all please pray for Jess as she’s going to be home with both kids, babysitting another, dog sitting, speaking at church, hosting our home community, going to math class 5 days a week, and saving the world all while I’m gone! Jess and I work as partners, as a team in nearly everything we do, so it’s hard to go to such an exciting event without her. It just doesn’t seem right.

I’ll try to update often while I’m there. Peace out friends.

Post Modern Thought

I found my son climbing on top of his play kitchen just a few minutes ago. He’s got a climbing structure in his play area for climbing and is not supposed to climb on his other stuff. I asked him if he thought that it was a good choice to climb on his play kitchen and he responded:

Daddy, daddy, dad, dad, I’ve thought about this and I’ve decided that this is a good choice for me. It’s a good choice for me, but it’s not a good choice for you. Maybe its not a good idea for you, but it is for me.

If you’re familiar with the discussion on post modernity and the post modern way of thought, you’d be happy (or grieved) to see that my son apparently is the epitome of today’s generation.
