This is my first try at this whole "blogosphere". I am a little apprehensive since I am not witty nor insightful, but as my friends keep moving further away, and I make more and more from out of state, it will be worth it to stay in touch. Give me grace for the construction around here while I figure everything out!
A little update on New Staff Training in Colorado:
-We are exhausted! I am emotionally drained from the workload and Alex is recovering from his Harry Potter Hangover. (He went to the midnight premiere last night and fell asleep at 8pm!)
-We spent all day, every day this week learning how to develop a team of ministry partners that share our vision for reaching the world with the message of Christ.
-We even have to go in tomorrow morning to learn more! (No sleeping in on our beloved Saturday!)
-Next week there is a lot to look forward to though:
-National Staff Conference brings in 8,000 Cru staff from around the US including many of our friends from U of I!!!
-We will get to hear talks from Francis Chan, David Platt, Josh McDowell, Tim Hawkins, and rock out to The David Crowder Band! (However, if you know how I feel about concerts and rock music you know the exclamation point is in there for Alex's sake.)
Love to you all! See you back in Illinois soon!
