Breck and I just spent Tuesday through Thursday together at the Wee Kirk conference for Middle America. About 150 were there from all over and we had a lovely retreat at a State Park in Oklahoma just about 78 miles from where we live across the Arkansas border. They don't call this part of Oklahoma "Green Country" for nothing.

This state park reminded me a lot of Cedar Campus in the upper peninsula of Michigan. "Western Hills" sits on a penisula that juts out into a lovely lake, but the land you see on far side isn't Canada. This is a picture I took with my phone--I can't believe I forgot my camera! Breck was on the planning committee for next year's conference and did a seminar on preaching Haggai. I was a plenary speaker and did an exposition on the ending of Matthew 7 for the conference. It was nice to get away and get in a good bike ride, too.

Now it's back to grading for mid-terms! Breck is busy, too--we're no longer a "Wee Kirk" in Siloam Springs and Breck is working with a strategy committee on how to expand our sanctuary. Right now it's SRO at times! Nice "problem" to have.
