Sprinting to the Finish/ Chicago

Mid-May up to today has been a full on sprint.  Don't come by the house - like to have mail still in the box, grass up to your waist and clothes everywhere (not really - just a point of exaggeration).  My point is it does not feel like there is time to do maintenance much less anything extra with all the added things that seem to come along each day as the school year ends and summer begins.

It is officially time to breathe.  Family time is planned and about to be executed as we are doing "micro" vacations this summer.  Kids are picking what we do - Although I am excited too.

This Sunday at Capstone we begin our Summer teaching series - Summer Vacation:  Life Lessons from the Road.  If you are in Anderson check it out Sunday.

FYI -

Last week was a needed time of growth for me.  Took a trip to Chicago to Moody Bible Institute.  1800's evangelism DL Moody founded the school and today it still provide excellent bible, preaching and missions education.

Learned a lot - great preachers - Tony Evans, Lon Solomon, Kevin De Young and Jim Cymbala.

Walked a lot, made the elevator ride up the "Sears" tower, rode the "L", walked the halls of University of Chicago and Illinois Tech.  Caught a Cubbies game too - rains delayed and about 35 degrees.
