"I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up"

Tuesday October 23, 2007 ~ 8 Comments

This evening I took a fall while speaking in Maryland... so, tonight, I'm here in my hotel bed with little to do but blog, take pain medication, and pray for a swift recovery. It was not just a fall, but it was one of those fun, standing on stage, arms and legs flailing, then flat on your back, falls that just embarrass the socks off of you.

But, it was still a good meeting. I taught on the Kingdom of God and was pleased to see that folks were responding to the Missional Network.

The event was actually held in two places the same day and Reggie McNeal taught at the other one.

But, if you think of it, please say a prayer that my back will recover and I can get home on the plane in the morning. Contrary to the pithy title, I can get up, but it does hurt.

Ed Stetzer and Reggie McNeal on the same docket? Isn't that what they call a perfect storm?

Thanks for the prayer. I am at the airport now and on the way home. I love Advil.

Prayed for you. I'm thankful for what you are doing in the field and at FBCH. I hope to meet you there soon.

Hope you're better soon. It was a great conference. Glad to hear the Midol is helping!

Nathan,

Don't narc me out on the Midol! That was our Salisbury secret.

And, it did work!

Doh! Oops! (Glad it worked though.)

Really enjoying Comeback Churches...

Thanks for never doing that @ LRC. Cogland relayed the story to us, sounded magical...wish there'd been video. Seriously, glad you're feeling better.
