Hey.
It's Sunday night and tomorrow we head off to California. We had a great time at Central Maryland Vineyard this morning. I got to preach (which I haven't done in a while) on one of my favourite subjects - worship. At the end we had a great time praying for the kids, and then getting the kids to pray for the parents. Then, after quickly catching up with my family on skype, we headed to Washington DC to do some sightseeing. Unexpectedly, it had snowed all morning so the road was a bit slushy, but it did mean that DC was quiet & we got to look at all the iconic buildings - The capital building, the white house and the Lincoln Memorial (where they did the anti war demos & MLK gave his I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH). It's amazing to see places that you've heard about so much & seen on the movies & news archives in the flesh.
After that, we went to the smithsionian flight & space machine where we saw some awesome planes including the Spirit of St. Louis (first solo atlantic crossing) and the wright brothers first plane as well as the apollo spacecraft from the first moon landings. As a bonus, there was a display of amazing stuff from the American History museum including dorothy's shoes from the wizard of oz, abraham linccoln's hat, mohamed ali's gloves and prince's guitar. It felt like a truly iconic day.
Tomorrow we start early to get to the airport. See you in California...

Nice one with the pics n' stuff, I'm busy spending most of my spare time practising the GBG riff so I can nail it on Sunday! I'll think of you playing the same thing on the same day in a different time zone!
