Back from vacation

Well as the title suggest, we are finally back from vacation. We had a great time in Pennsylvania with Shawna's family, and we are looking forward to getting back to some kind of normal routine. However, that will not be coming anytime soon. We head out again next week to Arizona, where I have been asked to speak at the White Mountains Ranchmen's Camp Meeting. I'm very excited about this opportunity, and would appreciate your prayers that God would be glorified during our time in Arizona.

So, I just wanted to "check-in" if you will, and I hope to get back to more consistent blogging when we return from Arizona.

I'm drained

For those of you who haven't already heard, camp was amazing. The music, the teaching, the setting were all wonderful. God spoke and now I'm drained. It's a very exhausting, yet inspiring time when God speaks like He did at Glorieta. I can't imagine what Moses must have felt like coming down from that mountain, or Paul after the Damascus road experience. They probably felt like sleeping for about a month afterwards.

So thankfully my family and I will be headed out on vacation starting next week. I hope it will be a great time for us to see family, and just relax, because when we get back life will be at a full sprint. After vacation I will be speaking in Arizona at the White Mountain Ranchmen's camp meeting, and then we will be off to the races with new ministries beginning in September. My hopes are to have a young adult's Bible study in town, monthly service projects, and some kind of outreach to the dorms at ENMU.

Please keep us in your prayers as we enjoy our time off and get your rest, because if God does even half of what I think He will, we are all going to need it. (and I mean that in a good way)
