Stateside and Why I Hate NWA.
We are home in the USA! This has been probably one of the most significant missions trip I have ever been on and I will unpack it this week in a 16 part series....okay, maybe not 16 but there will be a few!And I just wanted to get this out of the way before I start that project...I hate Northwest Arkansas. I've got solid reasons.
Reason 1. My good friend, pastor, leader, confidant, and partner in crime Mark Schatzman has taken a job at Fellowship Bible Church of Northwest Arkansas. He's gonna be on their Saturday Night crew.
I wish there was some sinister backstory to this but there isn't. Chip Jackson - who I think might be one of the coolest leaders I have ever been around - has been pursuing Schatzy for awhile. Schatzy just recently decided to pray about it.
So I guess I hate Schatzy, too.
Reason 2. Jason Lofton. Another one of my good close friends who decided to leave the Rock for NWA. I realize of course he's got this minor thing up there called "residency" but what the heck?
Reason 3. My father-in-law took my Sequoia and kids to NWA this last week while we were in Brazil. We have some good friends in Bella Vista/Bentonville corridor where the towns just seem to meld together. He got hit and runned.
The front of the Sequoia doesn't look all that bad but my dad in law says it took off the entire rear panel of the other car.
Reason 4. Nelson and friends are better than me in Halo. I could argue that I can hold my own but the bottom line is I getting worse, not better.
Okay, I feel better. Now I can talk about the Mission Trip.
