The last few days have been quite the whirlwind! I have been in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tomorrow I head back to Georgia (ATL) for the 3rd NYWC. Here is a recap of my travels…
>Landed in Jacksonville, FL a week ago tomorrow to speak at a retreat
>Drove from Jacksonville to Simons Island, Georgia
>Flew home to Chicago on Sunday, swung by my house to pick up some clean clothes and left for Kansas City
>Spent Sunday night at a hotel in Des Moines, IA
>Monday morning I got to Kansas City to be in the office for a couple of days of meetings
>Left Kansas City Tuesday night after work hours and drove to Des Moines again to crash
>Left Des Moines Wed morning for the 8 hour drive to Stevens Point, WI (drove through MN)
>Spent today in Stevens Point with Rob Weise and 30 of the youth pastors from his Evangelical Free Church Forest Lake District
>Left Stevens Point at around 3PM, fixed a flat tire in the rental mini-van along the way and got to Chicago at around 6:30pm
>I leave for the NYWC tomorrow morning around 10AM!
I have been able to have my good friend and co-worker at YouthFront/Sonlife named Matt Wilks with me. It has been great to reconnect with him. Matt lives in Calgary and is only in Kansas City at the YouthFront offices once a month so I seldom get to see him. Matt will be headed to the NYWC with me too, which is great. If you are headed to ATL for the NYWC, look me up.
I was reading around the web about Sonlife/Youthfront etc.
Came across this link and wanted to see if you wanted to spellcheck the site.

Thanks Chris, looks much better now. Can you not delete the first comment? I tried and can’t either!! Sorry! I perhaps should have emailed the edit request!
diff note:
I didn’t get to sit in on any of the sessions at YS but some of the youth workers in my area did and were excited about what they learned. I am sure they would tell you “great job” if they had the chance.
Have a great and restful Thanksgiving. I am spending mine in Missouri (my third state in three days!)
brian,
thanks for your “editing” help! 3 states in 3 days! is it ending there? i hope for your sake it is
