In one week Ryan and I will be off to Grand Rapids for the month. Ryan is doing an "away rotation" at DeVos Children's Hospital to see if he likes the program, the area, the staff, etc., which will help him in the decision-making process of choosing a residency program.
I'm heading to Phoenix with Dawn for the MinistryCOM Conference on September 6-7th, I can't wait!
A few weeks later we head back home to Granger for the Innovative Church Conference, which includes the first ever GCC Film Festival on Day 1 ... really pumped about this one
After that, its back to the Windy City!
Thanks Mark Waltz for prompting the idea for this post!!
