Between Sundays

For many people rest is defined as an extended appointment with their recliner. Others take rest to mean a hobby like golf or hunting. For me, rest is the Shepherd's Conference. Held every year on the campus of Grace Community Church in sunny, southern California, this conference brings together pastors and church leaders for a time of relaxation and fellowship. There is teaching from some of the world's best Bible expositors and plenty of seminars to answer those ever perplexing problems of ministry. In addition to feeding the soul, the body is nourished through a never ending buffet of goods served by the friendliest staff. For three days I had the opportunity to break from ministering to others and have others pour ministry into me. It was wonderful. Here are a few pictures from those rewarding days.
