Eagle Retreat

I am in the process of tying off a few loose ends before heading to Salina for the weekend. Every year our convention puts on, what I believe to be great program, the Eagle Retreat. This weekend is designed for the children of the staff in the KNCSB. We attended one of the early retreats when Brennan was in middle school. We have attended every retreat since. All three kids have been richly blessed by this retreat. They are able to talk with other kids who are going through some of the same struggles. It has truly been an amazing blessing for our kids. Heidi and I use the weekend to be recertified in our High Ropes training. We sure enjoy our weekend. We stay an evening at Webster then enjoy an evening out in Salina. It is always a refreshing time for Heidi and me. We also enjoy going to the parent and children worship service on Sunday morning and having a special time of worship with my family. It has also been our tradition to go to lunch at Chili's in Salina. It is around the table we hear of all the great stories from the weekend. I'm praying for Sean as he prepares to preach in my absence on Sunday. It will be a great weekend for everyone. If you happen to be on staff in a KNCSB church with kids between the grades of 7-12, find out about the Eagle Retreat. Don't miss out!

February Reading List

Things seem to be going well. Here is my reading list for February: "Radical" by David Platt, "Revolve" by Nelson Searcy and Jason Hatley and "Making Change" by Ken Hemphill. I even read the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I actually enjoyed the book. I read Radical for the second time. It is really a challenging and convicting read. It helps me to prioritize my life and ministry. I have a lot of great books coming in March. I am well on my way to read 52 books this year. I'm looking forward to the release of "The Hunger Games" in month. My family and I are looking forward in seeing the movie together.
