One week and counting...NYWC

This time next week I'll be packing my bags for sunny Atlanta.  I just hope they have enough drinking water for me down there.  I am pumped because I get to go to the National Youth Workers Convention.  It'll be my second time and it's just a great chance to relax, rest, learn, grow, network, spend time with family, and get some great food.  Why am I excited to go hear a bunch of speakers and music and sessions?  Here's why.

1. Andy Stanley, Louie Giglio, Doug Fields are all speakers.  I've heard Doug before but I'm really excited to here the other two.  Those are definitely "can't miss" sessions.
2. Tomlin & Crowder are leading worship.  Yeah, I've heard Crowder plenty of times before but he's a really funny guy and Tomlin, what else can you say.  Probably the most recognized name in Christian Music today.

It's not all about the sessions though.  I also get to take in Atlanta and spend a couple of days with some extended family.  And then when I get back it's Thanksgiving and what is better than that.  Coming back to a feast.  I'm about as excited about Thanksgiving as those that play Survivor are when they get food.

So I'm like a kid before Christmas, like Charlie before he goes into the Chocolate Factory, like Miss America the moment before they put that crown on her head and give her a bunch of flowers and then she weeps...well maybe I'm not that excited, but I am ready to go.

Cool, I’ll be praying for you to get there safe and have a great time with your relatives.
