Go East, Young Man

Early this evening I am getting on a plane for the first time in close to 3 months. I am flying out to the DC area to attend the Lead Now Conference at MacLean Bible Church with a pastor from my church. It is a short trip, about 3 days in total, but it will give me an opportunity to visit some friends and to bring myself up to speed on the latest thinking in young adult ministry. And, hey, even if it turns out to be a total waste of my time, I am using miles to score a (mostly) free ticket, so it isn't like I'm throwing tons of money down a hole. And it gets me away from work for a while, which will be nice, as well.
