First night away from the girls

Dateline: St Louis. (And I don’t mean our street.)

I’m away for two days in St. Louis, Missouri, for some meetings to plan for “Open for Business”:http://urbana.org/go/ofb/, an “InterVarsity”:http://www.intervarsity.org/ conference for businesspeople about the emerging business-as-mission movement. I’m delighted to be involved, and being on site here at “the”:http://www.druryhotels.com/properties/druryplazahotel.cfm “hotels”:http://www.adamsmark.com/stlouis/index.asp we’ll be using really helps me to prepare (and pray) for the conference better.

But it’s the first night I’m away from Ann and Lucy in Lucy’s whole life! (She’s twelve weeks old today, by the way.) Not that I don’t plan on getting a sound night’s sleep or anything, but I do miss them. We’ve spoken several times on the phone, and I’ve never been so glad for a cell phone. So this post is just another little “message in a bottle” sent their way. I wish I had brought the computer cable for my camera, because then I’d add a picture here of me blowing them a kiss or something.

Good night, girls! The Lord bless you and keep you, and may you sleep restfully for a new day.
