COTW - THE TRIP

I got dropped off at the airport at 6PM for my flight to Las Vegas. I had an interesting conversation with the guy in the seat next to me about pastors and money - he told me that, "If I was a Christian, I was in the wrong place [Las Vegas]. As I got up, he told me to keep the faith. I told him I would.

As I was waiting for my plane to take off from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. As the boarding time approached, the stewardess got on the intercom and told us there would be a short delay. 3 hours later in the same waiting room, this is what I looked like:30 minutes later, we took off from a different gate. We arrived in Philly at 10:30 local time - my flight to Albany had left at 7:25. The next flight that wasn't full didn't take off until 6:15. So I waited. Here's a picture of my feet:We landed in Albany at 8PM, and we pulled into Camp-Of-The-Woods at 10PM, 25 hours after I had begun my journey. And I didn't care. The camp is amazing, and I can't wait to see the things that GOD is going to do in the lives of the students I'm going to impact this summer, and the ways in which he is going to shape me into the image of his son. See you soon.

What a journey! Reminds me of another trip I took not too long ago - going to Atlanta for something... :-)
Well, Mr. Max, live it up all for God, eh? ... Be too busy lovin' Jesus, and I'll be praying for nothing less.
