"Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane"

I'm going to Colorado Springs, CO, leaving tomorrow, for a Christian Education Conference next week. Yes, there might also have to be a little snow skiing involved. The last time I went skiing in Colorado, Bill Clinton was in his first term; if that tells you how long it's been. I'm looking forward to the conference, but I'm not looking forward to being away from Kate and Aaron.

This morning, I sat there thinking to myself, 'when I'm in Colorado, I won't be able to protect Katie and Aaron for those few days.' Then, my next thought was, 'I really can't protect them anyways.' I can give them Earthly protection when they're in my presence, but I ultimately have no control over their ultimate protection. That was the "human" side coming out this morning. So, Lord, please protect my wife and son while I'm away because it's You that has that power; not me.

I'll be leaving on a jet plane tomorrow afternoon.

Hope your trip was all that you wanted it to be and more! I used to ski in MI, but I'm sure that's no comparison to CO.

I'm getting so excited to hear more news about your adoption process!! With your interesting perspectives on life, I'm sure this is going to be an enjoyable read for your followers.....and that God will once again get all the glory due to him through the process. Can't wait...Can't wait to see what God has in store for your family!!
