Fun Times in Branson

Who knew Branson, MO could be a place I was excited to go. This past week I got to spend a little "vacation" with my fellow Mid- States AD's and RD down in the great state of Missouri. Some of our community contacts in St Louis allowed us to use their condo, free of charge, for a couple nights. What a blessing! It had an amazing view and beds that felt like you were sleeping on clouds! (This was the view from our balcony-Table Rock Lake)

We got to just hang out and relax in the midst of the craziness of the summer. We had good food (much of it made compliments of Zach's amazing wife, Ellen), shared some laughs, spent time processing the summer and praying together, and spent a day on a boat on Table Rock Lake.

Some of the highlights of the boat were: Diet Coke breaks, watching Jason and Zach compete for the best football grab while jumping off the boat, basking in the sun on the boat deck and in the water, cruisin through some of God's amazing creation.

We also got to play putt-putt. Heidi took home the trophy, much to the chagrin of the fellas! Apparently, Heid beats them at a lot of things down in the Birmingham office.

All in all an amazing time of rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and most importantly, fellowship with one another.

Thank you Lord for that amazing opportunity and for using it to refresh me.
