for the remainder of the day i will be doing my job.. and preparing to head to atlanta for the national youth workers convention by youth specialties. i am going as guest of youth worker movement, an organization to help youth leaders in the wesleyan traditions connect and resource for best practice youth ministry. i will be putting together some interviews with folks for the podcast that my buddy and jonathon have started doing. jonathon won't be with us, so i will probably be podcasting with my travel partners jason & mike.
things i am looking forward too..
- chilling out with new youth ministry friends, love front line practitioners
- catching back up with mark yaconelli
- sitting down with mike king
- talking prayer & spiritual formation with jeannie oestreicher
- interviewing mark riddle
- doing some hang out with natalie
- hopefully catching up with some atlanta based personal friends
- maybe seeing one or two general sessions
- stalking anna, our joke, talking tennessee youth ministry collaboration
- reading different blogger takes on the conference
things not looking forward too..
- not having my conference buddy will there, we always seem to just hang out at youth conference though we both live around nashville
- atlanta traffic
- not doing the creative stuff with lilly again.
- the abyss that is the expo or vendors floor.. that place is crazy!
