My nephew Jacob hung out with Addison at our house after church yesterday – they played so well together I almost forgot they were here – gotta love that

My good friend and Cedar Creek Elder/Pastor Steve Hutmacher was in Miami this weekend to speak at a church there – tough gig to leave 20 degree MI for Miami on Super Bowl weekend!

Looking forward to Velocity conference in a couple weeks and hanging out with my good friends Tom & Dianne Boldt in Atlanta- life long learning & life long friends- both are necessary for personal growth
