Yeah, its as good as it sounds. Right now its going down real smooth.
We're back in Johnson City after an enlightening and moderately productive time in Beckley. I feel confident in saying that week is going to rock up there and once the word gets out, people are going to want that week. I don't think we were quite prepared for the "Appalachian Pride" that we encountered at times but it is going to end up being a great, great place with some amazing people.
We fly home tomorrow. I'm really ready to be home. Its been a long week, a lot of meetings and travel and it wears on you after a while. Its exciting to see some of the stuff the crew out here will do this summer. I won't get to be a part of these weeks but I know the groups showing up will make a difference and be blessed by what they do.
I finished Divine Nobodies last night. Solid. I'd recommend it to just about anybody. A good dose of perspective for me. I've jumped into a re-read from Giglio "I Am Not..." They are combining to give me a great deal of peace as I'm reminded just how big God is (no clue on that really) and how insignificant my piece is or can be when I am off point. It has led to some real soul searching and I trust the time of reflection and conversation and my best attempts to be still and know are for a reason.
Right now though, I'm finishing off the drink and anticipating the weekend with my family. It will be the best thing I've done in a long time.

Please tell me that the coffee was preceded by an oversized helping of Japanese food. If you spent a day in Johnson City without getting any carrots I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.
Oh Ryan, I regret to admit, I had no carrots. Usually it happens on a trip to the JC. Can I offer any number of excuses for my sin? I am truly ashamed....
clearly a timely read huh!
