I’ll be at the Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida this week. I’ll be hanging with a few old seminary buddies and learning from some of the more prominent voices in American church planting. I’ve never heard some of these guys speak, so that’ll be good. I do wish I could hear more from the international crowd, and I’m disappointed Bob Roberts, Jr. won’t be there this year.
Still, this is going to be a great conference with a huge lineup. And it’ll be a sweet break. The furthest I’ve been from Mobile in the last 10 months is Baton Rouge, and that was only for a couple hours. I miss being on the road- the most therapeutic place I know. Once I leave Orlando on Friday I’ll be driving south through the everglades and then over to Florida’s Gulf Coast. Every mile south of Tampa I drive will be the furthest south I’ve ever been, so that’s going to be a nice new record. I plan to visit Lake Okeechobee, drive along Alligator Alley, and hopefully I’ll see a lot of pelicans along the gulf coast. Maybe even a manatee on the way home. I’ve driven through swampland in Louisiana, and I hope Florida is different. Even if it’s not- that’s a drive worth taking. Of course my camera will be on me at all times.
So I might post here during the week, or maybe I won’t. But at least you’ll know where I am and why.
