For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20

So far, one day in, this weekend in Ohio is looking good. I have met a lot of great people, toured around a really nice community, sampled far too much excellent food, had what I believe was a very positive evening with a good crowd for dinner and “A conversation with Derek Maul,” worked on Saturday’s retreat, and enjoyed a light dusting of snow.

But I am tired. Very tired. Friday was just Episode One and there is a lot on – starting fairly early this morning. I’m sharing just a few photos for now, documenting a good day, saving the writing part of this blog for another time.

Praying God’s rich blessing on all of you and in every way. In love, and because of love – DEREK
