From 1990 to 1995 I went to school, well not really. I had gotten intrigued with the concept of church growth and church planting and attended conferences and seminars aplenty, bought books and audio material, and, in general, immersed myself in the subject. I guess that is why I have always liked conferences, they can be great learning experiences.
There are two events happening this week, or ten days, that I would really have liked to attend. One is Soularize. This year it is in the Bahamas. A highlight for Jordon Cooper was his opportunity to swim with the sharks, literally! My friend Spencer Burke puts on a great event and there are some people there I want to meet some day.
The other event is Off The Map by my friend, Jim Henderson. If you haven’t attended a Henderson event, you must experience it at least one time in your life. It is part Conan O’Brien, part Charlie Rose, part Oprah, part Deal or No Deal, and just downright entertaining as well as inspiring. For some reason I just knew I couldn’t make those events this year, too much happening in the Wear Family, Inc.
Tuesday my 4 yr. old has an outpatient hernia repair. I take the red-eye to Tampa tonight and then return to California on Wednesday. It has been hard to sleep this week with all that is happening in the family. But a thought for my friends in the Bahamas and next week’s Off The Map in Seattle bubbles to the surface once in a while.
