In January I traveled to Point Loma Nazarene University in sunny San Diego, California. It's the perfect cure for the Nashville winter blues. San Diego is usually mid-60's and absolutely gorgeous this time of year. I wish I were there now, actually. This last trip to California involved a lot more work then play. In fact, I did a lot of growing up that extended weekend. I was Co-Chair of the organization which was having it's annual leadership conference and at this meeting it was recommended that we basically rewrite the constitution. I'll be honest, Robert's Rules and Orders is not my best friend, yet that week it became so. After many hours of working through the constitution, it was finished. While no lives will ever be changed because of it and no one might ever appreciate the work we put into it, I did feel accomplished. During that process I realized how important it is to have people around you that are strong in the gifts your not. It also helps to have good people, whom you enjoy being around, to help in the process as you are stuck in a conference room overlooking the Pacific Ocean... but seriously... we were on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
