I’m off at All Nations Church in Fort Mill, SC attending a conference featuring Mahesh Chavda and Bill Johnson.

These are two individuals who’ve had a profound influence on my life over the last few years and I was thrilled to be able to catch both of them at one event. In some ways this is the equivalent to a trip to DisneyWorld: I get to have fun, experience the exotic, ride thrill rides that catch my breadth and sleep in a lumpy hotel bed.

Most of us would call that “vacation.”

I prefer to look at it as pre-Brazil trip training. All of the above is true of a trip to Ubaúna, Brazil, only on lots and lots of steroids! And I’m sleeping in a bed inside instead of a hammock outside. And I have air conditioning. And I have Panera’s to wake up to. And I don’t have critters, nor frogs. And there’s hot water. And it’s not that hot…

Ok, so it’s nothing like Brazil.

I’m on vacation…
