Glad to be home…
Our family got back early yesterday morning from a five day trip to Arkansas. That was on the back of a 1 day trip to Tennessee and a 6 day trip to Boston/Manchester, New Hampshire for me.
It was good to sleep in my own bed for the first time in almost 2 weeks.
Here’s a summary…by the numbers.
Travel
5 – Hours spent waiting on delayed flights. Not bad when you consider Chicago to Chattanooga to Chicago to Manchester to Baltimore to St. Louis. Surprise, Surprise…all 5 hours were at O’Hare.
13 – Hours spent driving from Arkansas to home with 2 kids. (It only took 9 before kids!)
5000+ – miles traveled by plane, car, and bus on the trip
Family
15 – family members at my parent’s Arkansas house. It’s a big house…but everyone still has to eat, shower, sleep with some coordination.
27 – Holes of golf played in Arkansas…9 with my wife
0 – Holes Dad was able to play golf due to the cancer treatments. We did get to play some cards and he’ll be back on the course next year.
1 – Days it took me when I got home to buy Jack a set of clubs. We are goign to the driving range tonight.
Ministry
2 – Sundays I’ve been gone from Suncrest. I hate this part of my “break”. Miss you all.
1400 – High School Students that I spent 30 minutes speaking to one night. I liked it because I hope every one of them has potential for being a kingdom worker.
8 – High School Students that I spent a week with in New England. I LOVED it because I KNOW every one of them has great potential for a future in ministry (and maybe church planting in New England!)
