Heading Out

So I am about one day away from vacation. I am excited about this, but also terribly apprehensive. My main apprehension is the drive, which measures somewhere between 21 hours and indefinitely. This coupled with the whole family being in the car, the recent flooding in Texas and having to spend any amount of time in Kansas makes me quite un-easy. All of this should be worth it when we arrive for a couple of weeks of relaxation, rest and family. We get to see a lot of old friends, and reconnect with extended family we have not seen in about a year.
This year also comes with a special treat, I get to bracket my vacation with two conferences. On the frontside, I am helping to host an informal conference on Christian Community which will hopefully bear much fruit for the long haul, while on the back end I get to attend the annual Gathering of the Eklessia Project, which is always three of my favorite days of the year.
Blogs over this next couple of weeks will no doubt be sporadic at best, although I do plan on recording some thoughts around the NBA draft tonight and the future of the Milwaukee Bucks, so check back for that.
