Wow! do the days fly by! I had an incredible weekend with Royal View Church last weekend. I flew home Monday night arriving home at midnight and flew Tuesday Morning early to Dallas. I have had the joy of spending 3 days with my 3 month old granddaughter Olivia. Hot Dog! Tonight Vicki and I are babysitting it is a blast! This is our first Thanksgiving with her.

We have so much to be thankful for. I have sat today and thought of all my friends. You are all over the world. So many live in Canada, Asia, Africa, Australia and the list goes on. God has provided for are every need.

Tomorrow I leave for East Africa. When I think of how God has blessed Vicki and me with so many opportunities to minister for him and in so many places I am amazed.

We ate at our friends the Wilson's today, they are a great family. If you are ever in the Dallas area visit Oaks Fellowship that is the group the Wilson's lead. Let me know how your day was. I will keep you posted each day from Africa.

What a great church New Hope in Abilene is! If you live near it is a church you would love. The picture is of the leadership. On my way to Toledo today.

I am in the middle of the west Texas country. Hee Haw! 11 incredible leaders fromNew hope church are gathered in a two day retreat. We are 25 miles from anywhere, cooking for ourselves at a fantastic location. Between working sessions we have played Bocce and tomorrow we shoot skit. welcome to the wild west. I will post pictures tomorrow. I love working with leaders it energizes me. We ate steaks cooked on the grill come and get it!

I am posting pictures today of the spin converge youth conferance I spoke last weekend.

WOW! what an early morning. I flew from MSP to ORD to CLT arriving before noon. It is good to be home even though I leave tomorrow for TX. I have already repacked. Vicki just made me some press coffee so I am living big. I received an email from a student that attended the spin conference this past weekend. That was a blast. Over 300 students worshiping God, I love it. I spoke 4 times and loved every minute.
The last to nights I spent with Tory, Elizabeth and Olivia were a high light of the week. They are doing great, I am proud of them. I am working on my message for this coming Sunday. I am in Abilene TX at New Hope church. This is a seven year old church that has grown rapidly to over 500. I will see my Uncle Chuck as well this weekend. He gave me my first opportunity to travel in ministry. Lots of memories mixed with laughs will be shared I am sure.

The beauty of Olivia

Tell me, is she good looking!

A day of coach training

This has been an incredible day. I conducted a two day training of coaches in Minneapolis today. The energy was huge as men discovered a new tool that will help people move forward in live. I enjoy training coaches as much as coaching clients.
Then I was able to spend the night with my son, daughter in law and my new granddaughter. She is beautiful as you can see. We all went to dinner together and Olivia was great. Vicki was home in North Carolina she is a trooper, I love her more every day. Tomorrow I leave early for home. I am ready to be home after 16 days, this has been a long trip, 2 countries, 3 states, very impacting on lives.
