OOOH. You want to take me to
California? |
Working on the Holloman Family Christmas card (see posts
here and
here), has led me into a contemplative state of mind. Looking back over the past year while looking for appropriate photos for the Christmas card has allowed me to
- wonder why in the world I do not have a better handle on digital photo organization, and
- reflect on God's matchless goodness to us this year.
Let's talk about #2!
This summer marks a first for me. I was able to take a trip (with Rodney, of course) to the
left coast. In June, we were given the opportunity to attend the
Spiritual Leadership Conference at
Lancaster Baptist Church. Being in full-time ministry can be challenging, anyone will tell you that. It is a wonderful thing to go and have your batteries
recharged and that is exactly what happened. We were able to meet up with friends out there and had a wonderful time of fun, fellowship, FOOD (of course) and Spiritual renewal (sorry, couldn't think of a word that starts with an "f" to continue the alliteration.)

Del-Taco, ummm. Not so much.
Taco Bell would be a step UP! |
At the close of the Conference, Rodney and I headed to the
Reagan Library in Simi Valley. It is in a beautiful spot on the top of a mountain. To say that I was moved with nostalgia would be an understatement. Seeing President Reagan from his humble beginnings through his death was powerful. I was moved to tears as I watched videos of his funeral.

Getting ready to go into the Library. |
Leaving there, we headed to San Diego . . .
