Tonight I fly to Melbourne for a gatheirng of the State Forge Directors. It’ll be good to catch up with all the crew again. When you live as a far away as Perth (the world’s most isolated city) it is only normal that you end up feeling a litle removed from the action.

It is also my final day of teaching students… You have no idea how ecstatic I feel having just written that sentence!!

It’l be good to spend the weekend with other like minded guys and then on Monday I have booked some time with other church planters so I can pick their brains and hear what they are learning. It was a real toss up between spending Monday with these guys or coming home before my kids go to bed. A few years ago it would never have been an issue, but now I find myself very toey about even short periods of time away from home.
