The weekend started with a meal at the Truck Stop at mile marker #268 on East Ten outside Tucson (not, as Randy Mayer found out when he walked in an hour late to the meeting he called, and using directions he gave to us - but which, thank God, none of us but him trusted).
The food was outstanding, and our waitress, Rose-A-Lee, was a real smart alek.
From there we travelled to a retreat center just north of Tombstone, where your Growth and Development team made some real progress dreaming, scheming, plotting and planning the future of growth and development in the life of the Southwest Conference.
I know you want to know more about that - and you will, trust me. This is soon to become priority number one. But first, we have a lot of work to do. We promise that we will do nothing half-way, and until we build a solid infrastructure to support these hopes and dreams, we are not moving forward. We have more work to do, but this was a very important step.
In the days to come reports will be drafted, education will be undertaken, timelines will be developed, and hopes will turn from dreams into deeds - but one step at a time. More info is forthcoming on this.
From there I flew to Kettering, Ohio, where I preached the Installation of my good friend and pastor, Rev. Dr. Brian Q. Newcomb. There is no one like this man anywhere, and spending that last couple days with him was a delight!
