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!
Welcome to the blogging world dear friend :)
