I\u2019m dropping this quick line from a borrowed computer to let you know that I won\u2019t be able to post much this week, nor will be moderating comments.\u00a0 I\u2019m in the mountains east or Los Angeles, speaking a conference, and will be flying home Saturday.\u00a0 Already though, a lot has happened:\u00a0<\/p>\n
1. My rental car, thanks to my administrative assistant, is a convertable Smart Car! I\u2019d never driven a convertable in my life until yesterday.\u00a0 What was I thinking?\u00a0 This is tons fun.\u00a0 With my wife and I driving east on the interstate, top down, music blaring, I could suddenly understand why people like cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2. My wife and I had lunch today with the people who lead\u00a0our small group back in 1983, when we were living in Los Angeles.\u00a0 It was delightful to see them, still married, still hospitable, still serving Christ\u2026 through it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
3. Tomorrow night we\u2019re having supper with the guy who was most influential in my life when I was studying Architecture way back in 1976.\u00a0 He\u2019s here this week along with his wife and two grown sons.\u00a0 They\u2019re delightful and, like my other friends, are still serving Christ, still blessing their world, still loving everyone around them, from the wait staff to their own family members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In both instances I\u2019m struck by the value of continuity, faithfulness, and contuing to show up.\u00a0 This is great because I\u2019m speaking on that very subject tonight!<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s been a great week already, and it\u2019s only Monday.\u00a0 Don\u2019t expect much unti I find the web again, and when I do, I\u2019ll have a picture of the Smart Car!\u00a0<\/p>\n
