I just want to shoot you an update on my summer, this blog, and what is going on inside my head. Summer has been a great time for my family, all of the kids have grown tremendously (physically and mentally). We dedicated a lot of time to “family time” and it has paid off.<\/p>\n

But now Autumn is here, my favorite season… and it will be full as Rebecca and I continue to develop our purpose and calling together. In the months ahead we’ll be finishing plans to: expand G42 to Africa<\/a>; expand our curriculum and training at the G42 Leadership Academy with four tracks: Missional, Business, Non-Profit, and Media; and look into our goals for 2012. Plus I will be traveling back to the States for teaching, speaking, and meetings–my first time back in the States since 2009 so I am a little excited.<\/p>\n

As I wrote here<\/a>, I am committing to posting better content here and focusing on my real job of mentoring and discipling. So that means my posts will be more infrequent as only the good stuff reaches my blog readers.<\/p>\n
