After attending the Wesleyan conference in Indy this weekend I'll be in Turkey with my two sons for the next 10 days... following the path of St Paul and visiting the sites of the ancient Christian church. We take these father-son trips every other year.
Last time we backpacked in the high Sierras in the snow and made (an unsuccessful) attempt on Mt. Whitney--snows too deep. Before that we went to Scotland and we also went to Austria for some mountainclimbing. The first time we went we canoed the Swaunee river in Georgia-Flordia.
ON all these trips we realized that biggest feature was the drive-time. Dave and Jon are bright guys and the conversations in the car were the best memories..which is good since we're crosscrossing Turkey this time--600 miles from Istanbal to Antioch and then wandering around to the rest of the sites between... Perga, Antioch-Pisidia, Derbe. Lystra, along with the more frequently visited sites like Ephesus and the seven chruches of Asia...
For now I'm putting my Apostle's Creed book to rest... I'll get back to rewrite when I return mid-month.
I love summers!

Yeah Nate--I wanted such a job too.... in my 20's especially...and in my 30's and 40's.... so be faithful... ;-)
who doesn't want a job where you get summers off? :) Probably a wrong motivation to become a teacher, but a bonus for those who are!
a few short steps behind you...
;)
