I was at Doubling Gap Center, Newville, PA (near Carlisle) today and will be back there tomorrow. The annual ERC meetings are there and I have the opportunity to talk with old friends and meet some new ones. Today I got to hear the main speaker twice, once for the whole crowd and once for the seminar he taught. He is excellent and really inspirational.

His name is Craig Sider and he is currently VP and Executive Director of the Center for Leadership at Evangelical Theological Seminary in Myerstown, PA.

The setup at conference is the best that it's been. The people running sound/video/lighting, etc. are doing a great job and set up for a conference of today. There is a big screen so you can see the speaker even from the back of the gym and good sound and well-lit and creative lighting of the stage.

The best though is the chance to talk with people. Today I got a chance to have lunch with church planters and people from their churches along with others, like myself, who are overseeing the plans for new churches of the future.

And even though it was upper 80's today, at least in the mountains it wasn't as bad as it might have been.
Throughout my life, I have been a wandering minstrel who enjoys writing and singing songs as well as writing and telling stories. I also enjoy listening to and reading books. Along the way, it is a delight to travel and spend time with my family and friends. I like banana splits but seem to rarely have one. Most days I take walks and a lot of days I take pictures of what is around me. My aim is to reflect hope as I travel through life.
