It's Friday morning, and I am once again greeted by another snow covered scene here in Portland, OR.  I haven't posted anything on the blog over the last two days because I find myself trying to figure out the best way to compress what I'm hearing and learning for a quick blog sound bite, and everythig I come up with falls so incredibly short of reality.  It just doesn't do it justice.  Maybe picrures and captions...who knows.  I wanted to at least offer a quick update and let you know that the week has been incredible.  From multiple gatherings of leaders across the PDX area to lunch with Rick Mckinley, it's been an incredibly full week of insight into what is happening in the Portland area.

Thank you for your patience as I process everything.  The roads are icy so I am going to get an early start on our journey over to meet Luis & Kevin Palau.  More soon from the Catalyst Road Trip adventure through what is often called "the least churched region in America."

Praying for another glimpse of the sun,
