With some vacation time that is unused on my hands, I decided to take a couple of extra days this week and spend time on the campus of Truett McConnell University (TMU). Readers with kids in college can probably relate to this: any excuse to go see my son in person is a good excuse to make that drive! So, with the help of the amazing folks at TMU, I made my plans and waited for this week to arrive. Since I would be on campus, I thought it would be fun to survey a few classes (yep…I’m that guy) and see firsthand what happens in the classrooms on the campus where my son is now residing.
Spending time with two of my friends yesterday was a tremendous blessing and not just because we ate well, which we did! That time reminded me of a few things those close ministry friendships add to my life and my ministry. Honestly, that time reminded me of more than that, but I thought I’d share a couple of those things here.
Do you remember Apple’s little iPod Nano? I sure do! Mine was a gift from my wife while our family was living in Las Cruces, New Mexico. That gift led to my moving away from listening to the radio in my car and eventually into the world of podcasts.
