Leaving on a Jet Plane

It has been a few weeks since I posted anything. Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men!

There was a week at church camp in that time. It was outstanding by the way. Traci and I served as counselors at our regional camp for a camp designed for grandparents and grandchildren. It was just wonderful. If you ever get the chance to do something like this - Do It! We had a great time and our son Will went along with us. He's been asking at least once a week since we returned when he could go back.

Then there was a week of vacation squeezed in there. It was a fast one, but renewing.

In the intervening time, it was the catch up game for a pastor. Checking on folks, getting things ready for various services, some pastoral emergencies, as well as some other things. This week has been all about preparing to leave for a mission trip to El Salvador. We have 23 adults and youth from the church going down to work on a church building at Puente Azul, northwest of San Salvador, near the city of Sonsonate. We are excited and a bit nervous. There may be a chance of posting some blog comments during the trip. We've been told that internet cafes are readily accessible. If I can, I'll post a comment or two while we are away. If not, I'll add some posts related to the trip when I return.

Please keep us in your prayers as we make this journey.
