Wow, it’s good to be back in the loop after a few days away.  Miranda & I left last Friday for a few days away, and little did I know at the time that I was unplugging from the internet.  So after a self-imposed silence (I’ll explain more in a minute) it’s time to plug in again.  Here are some quick hits so we’re all up to speed.

• I knew we were going somewhere we’ve never been before (a timeshare in Virginia Beach), but I didn’t know they wouldn’t have internet access.  Actually, they did but it was $9.95 per day, which to me is the same as not having it at all. 

• After staying in Savannah Friday night we drove to Va. by way of the Outer Banks.  This was the first time we went through that part of North Carolina, but it definitely won’t be the last.  Anyone feel up to a trip next summer?

• We stayed in Virginia Beach for a few days, which is a cool little town that’s really close to a lot of stuff including a ton of cool history, some cool tourist attractions, and some neat people.  I only had enough time to see the history stuff, however.

• One thing we did do was drive.  A lot.  Since last Friday we’ve logged about 38 hours in the car, which sounds crazy as I sit here writing it.  But ’tis true.

• Vacations are the time I’m proudest of the staff and leadership of RPC.  These guys never miss a beat when I’m not around, which is incredibly liberating.  From speaking to doing the Sunday Rewind to running a smooth service, I rest well knowing that everything is taken care of.

• By the way, I heard the band was off the chain last Sunday, and Denise brought the house down.  Which made being away somewhat bittersweet.

• We served 2,000 Thanksgiving meals to the needy this morning with over 50 RPC’ers. Which explains why Miranda & I drove 14+ hours straight yesterday to get home.  And it was worth every bit of it.  What an incredible day, which you’ll hear more about.  Or you can check these out.

• We came home from serving and had a great combined Thanksgiving lunch with both of our families.  It’s so nice to have great relationships with both sets of our parents.

• Now that today’s Thanksgiving outreach is over, it’s back to vacation.  We’ve got a great weekend coming up, including fishing, golf, and spending time with our little man. 

• Just a reminder – you don’t want to miss RPC on December 6^th.  We’ll be laying out the plan for our relocation, AND giving you a chance to help some folks with some serious needs.  This December, Revolutionary Love lives!!

Hope you had (and are having) a great turkey day.  Peace out.
