Traveling
I didn’t quite plan it this way, but I’m moving around a fair amount in August. Right now I’m in New York City. My wife, the kids and I flew in on American Airlines last night (4pm departure from LAX, 1230am arrival). Tomorrow I take a train to Philadelphia, where I’ll meet some friends and also cross the river (is that right?) and speak at Urban Promise in Camden. Kafi and I return home on Monday. The kids will stay behind with the family for a couple more weeks. One day later I hop a plane for Colorado, where I’ll be doing an intensive seminar at the NASS conference. While there I’m hoping to meet up with a bunch of friends and associates, including Nydia from Compassion, Dianne from Discipleship Journal, James from Knowtown, and hopefully more. Jay Hein, director of the White House Faith-based Office, is one of the keynote speakers, so I hope to see him at the hotel. I come home, then the weekend of Aug. 18-19 I’m scheduled to do a couple of things in San Diego. I’ll do a Saturday workshop at the First United Methodist Church of San Diego, then I preach the following day at all three of their services. A few days after that I take off for Singapore, where I’ll attend the World Vision Trienniel (what I call a triumph of good governance). All that just came together. When I get an opportunity at a church, I nearly always take it, because it’s a possible connection for Harambee. Anyway, I still like traveling, though I’m sure there will come a day when I won’t be happy to move around so much.
