Writing about life, leadership, faith, and anything else I find interesting.

As most of you know, Brian, Bobby and I traveled to Australia last week for the Hillsong Conference and some Bible Society meetings. The trip was full of activities, meetings, and events, so I was not able to unpack the trip in much detail. I don’t plan on a play by play storyline - however, I want to share about the Hillsong experience. The Hillsong experience is the best language I can use to describe...

My daughters are about as different as they come. Not much of a surprise since Robin and I are near opposites. On the Myers-Briggs scale,  Robin is an ISFP, and I am an ENTJ.
