I'm writing from a hotel room this evening. I just completed a whirlwind weekend in Colorado with John Eldredge and the Ransomed Heart team at the Wild at Heart Advanced retreat. I feel like I should write profound shifts in my heart and if I could I would. Although I have profound things rolling around it all happened so fast that I'm spinning. I saw God show up in peoples lives, I saw Jesus show up in my own life and confirm and affirm so many things, I got to share about the community God has raised up here and I got to lead a man to Jesus.

My heart is full, my mind is racing and my body is worn out. I feel like I could fall asleep as I type this. I'm completely full and empty at the same time and in a real way I hope I can stay that way. I sincerely want to be full of Jesus and empty of anything else and I know you do to. The good news is that we're moving in the right direction. We're getting there. We're under renovation and God is sp pleased with our progress.

In other news, Tara returned from Mexico safely a couple of days ago. I can hardly wait to hear about the trip and the things that God is doing through it.

The Hope of Prayer Week Four is upon us. This is the final week of this month long class and I can't wait to jump into the forums and see the lively conversation.

I think that was the last coherent sentence I can type but I do have the energy to tell you that I love and appreciate each one of you.

Onward Comrades,
