Drive-Time Mulling

This was a good day for a long, quiet drive.  Good thing, because I was coming back from Nampa.  The 335 miles is just about perfect -- enough to allow thoughts to percolate, not so much that it drives me crazy.  On my mind today:

Focus
Influential people in my life
Building relationships
Significance of community
Planning special events
Camp memories
Hospitality
Significant interactions
Integrity
Communication
Tasks I need to complete
Things I'd like to learn
Foundations
Road trips
Questions
Developing relationships and sub-cultures
Sermon ideas
Policies and procedures
Priorities and values
Bangladesh
Concentric circles of ministry impact
Family
College memories
Truth
Structure and flexibility

It will certainly need to be sifted and sorted some more, but there is plenty of good stuff in here.  I appreciate the memories along the way, and look forward to seeing the plans take shape.

I'm glad to be home, and grateful for the space and time in between there and here.
