  • KWAM-Los Angeles: January 2009, Day 1

    Friday, January 2nd, 2009

    Happy New Year everyone!
    I may be the first to offer such greetings to you this early in the morning, as I discovered when I went to Starbuck’s on the way to my office to pick up my computer and a few more items for the KWAM event in Media City. Starbuck’s wasn’t open at 6:00am! [...]

  • KWAM-Los Angeles: January 2009, Day 2

    Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

    We had a great day at KWAM, here in Burbank (just outside of Los Angeles) at Media City Church (formerly Burbank Foursquare Church). The twenty-something young 20-somethings and I continued our study about the nature of ministry and spiritual leadership. I was raring to go by 8:30am when we met at the church for breakfast. [...]

  • KWAM-Los Angeles: January 2009, Day 3

    Monday, January 5th, 2009

    It never ceases to amaze me the way a group of virtual strangers can become so bonded after such a short time together in the Lord. It is one of those miraculous aspects of true fellowship. Not “hanging out with friends” and calling it fellowship, but the true commonality we have because of our individual [...]

  • KWAM-Los Angeles: March 2008, Day 1

    Friday, March 28th, 2008

    Pamela and I drove to LA because of an invitation from Evan, our youngest son, who recently started a college-age group at his church, Media City Foursquare (formerly Burbank Foursquare). Since Evan attended the KWAM we did at Coastlands two years ago, he wants everyone to go to KWAM! Hence, his invitation to me to [...]

  • Life Pacific College: November 2007, Day 2

    Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

    My day began just after 4:30 am when I awoke “ready” for the day, if you know what I mean. Since coming back from China, my body-clock has been “off” just a bit, and even though many people think it is normal to stay up til 11 pm and awake around 6:00 am, that pattern [...]

  • Life Pacific College: November 2007, Day 3

    Monday, December 3rd, 2007

    The second morning chapel at LIFE Pacific went well, as far as I could tell. I still love that age-group so much and having any opportunity to speak into their lives—however brief or introductory it may be—still gets me excited. Before chapel I had breakfast with Tim Clark, the Dean of Students. He and I [...]

  • Long Beach: January 2009, Final Days

    Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

    The final day of my trip into Latin America ended with a couple of early morning flights—first from San Luis Potosi to Dallas, then on to LAX. I will spend the next couple of days in Long Beach at Foursquare’s annual Executive Council Summit, a gathering of all supervisors and superintendents (nearly 500 people). My [...]

  • Los Angeles: November 2007, Day 1

    Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

    Since Lorrel (Dr. Brown) was heading back to Baltimore after Thanksgiving to continue her “rounds” as an Intern at Hopkins Medical Center, I scheduled my flight to LA for approximately the same time. That way Pamela could drive us both, and I would have a few minutes with my favorite doctor to say good-bye—until Christmas. [...]

  • Los Angeles: September 2007, Day 1

    Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

    Yesterday was Labor Day, and Matthias Nowak was in town because he will be the speaker at The Coastlands’ Men’s Retreat this coming weekend. He and I have played golf off and on for the last many years, and the last time we played, over four years ago, he beat me for the first time. [...]

  • Los Angeles: September 2007, Day 1-3

    Thursday, September 13th, 2007

    After two days of meetings in Los Angeles at Foursquare Missions, on Wednesday I was able to change my flight from LAX to BWI, putting me back East at 6:00 pm instead of 1:10 am! Considering I have a 5-hr. drive from Baltimore to Christiansburg, Virginia, that I must complete before 1:00 pm Thursday, the [...]

  • Los Angeles: September 2007, Day 2

    Thursday, September 6th, 2007

    This short trip has two business focal points: a leadership retreat I’ll be doing for the Garden Church on Saturday and the meeting I had today with Glenn Burris and some of his team from the National Church Office. We’re exploring what kinds of information and data might be useful for pastors and supervisors to [...]

  • Los Angeles: September 2007, Day 3

    Saturday, September 8th, 2007

    The highlight of my day was actually at dinner when Pamela and I spent time with Evan, our youngest son. He is at Cal Tech just starting his 2nd year in the PhD program, so we don’t get to see him as often as we would like. He is quite fond of taking me or [...]

  • Los Angeles: September 2007, Days 4-5

    Sunday, September 9th, 2007

    On Friday after taking Pamela to Burbank airport for her return flight to San Jose, I had an urge to call Mike Larkin to tell him I was in town and I had an unexpected opening in my schedule; if he wanted, I could come to see him and talk about where we’re headed in [...]

    Day 1
    Originally, I was supposed to be doing the Gift-Mix seminar for one of the districts in Southern California, so travel to Israel took us through LA. That scheduling arrangement occasioned a great visit with Bette (Pamela’s mother), whom we saw Friday-Sunday—because we stayed at her home in Palos Verdes. Both Bette and Pamela enjoy [...]

  • Santa Cruz and London: January 2008, Days 1-2

    Monday, January 7th, 2008

    This trip began right on the heels of a very fun and exciting seminar I did at Coastlands on “How I Study My Bible” . The seminar ran Thursday night, all day/evening Friday, and Saturday until noon. We had lunch with Devorah, our dear friend from Israel; I suggested Mexican food because I knew she [...]
