It's Close To Summer

Haven't been posting much....don't really know why. I've got plenty to say, more than enough opinions, but just haven't been sitting in front of my computer long enough (or with time enough) to type some stuff out. Oh well, I guess it's good to be busy.

A few things. Really looking forward to heading to DC tomorrow for The Whiteboard Sessions. I think it's a great idea - more good speakers, in a shorter amount of time. Each speaker is limited to 30 minutes. Claude's skeptical, but I bet they pull it off. We're staying with some friends from Florida who live up there now. Nice of them to open their house to most of my family and a couple of staff people (but they know Claude and Randy too). Thanks Zerkles!

After that, I'll be looking forward to a week long break. Our whole family is hooking up in a million dollar mountain home with 3 other families that were accountability and support for us when we were in FL. Only one is still in FL, the others are coming from Texas and Tennessee. Oh, and us adults will be extremely outnumbered - 8 of us to 17 kids I think. (for those who may know, it's Ebelings, Gentzlers, Dawsons and Councils)

Then we'll be kicking off a new series along with about 800 other churches (at last count) called One Prayer. I'm excited about that. It'll be an experiment for us as I'll speak the first week but the next three we're bringing in 3 other top-level speakers via video. I love the idea of sharing resources though and I there's some stuff coming together that will help us make an impact here and internationally. Starts June 8th.

We need to find us a triple coupon store in TN for June! With 17 kids and 8 adults we are going to need a lot of food! James and I can't wait.

so jealous about the cabin!!! I think I actually saw this one as I was searching for a cabin for us last Summer. Looks like a lot of fun!

Hope you all have a great time and give hugs to the Gentzlers and Counsels for us.
