This week I have returned to writing after hiatus. A return prompted by my trip to the CITRT held at Seacost Church in Charleston SC. I am joined by Clif Guy and Jeremy Grabrian from our team at Church of the Resurrection, as well as Jeremie Kilgore . For more links, because I’m incredibly lazy and Clif did all the work for me, see Clif’s post.

For your enjoyment, I’ve been tweeting only the pointless and mundane events as they happen. :-/ Hopefully I’ll have more interesting stuff as I get back into the swing of this. [Update] But at least it’s not as boring as what JKilgore is doing on 12 seconds. C’mon man, your world can’t revolve around Tony Dye.

Tonight we toured Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. Their network was highly impressive, with a lot of enterprise class hardware in it. It seemed way over engineered, but their network admin said they were overloading the previous gear.

If you a reader here, watch my twitter and blog for more updates of the conference throughout this week and next.

Travel

Thus began my journey to Bloomfield, New Mexico, to serve a Native American reservation school, named Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle. Ever since I decided to attend this trip, I’ve been looking forward to it. It had been a couple years since my last one, and I really loved that one. I felt as though the clock was swinging back around; time for me to go.

We were required at the airport at 8 am on Saturday. Everyone arrived to the airport on time, and we had no problems to write about. We flew out to Denver, CO, just in time to catch our connecting flight to Albuquerque, NM. We’re so cuuuutte! →

I think the desert-scape is amazing. This is the furthest West in the US I have been, and the first time I have been to a desert area. I found beauty in the simplest of things. As we were shuttling to the rental cars,

I snapped a quick picture of a culvert on the side of the road. My brain synapse fired wildly when I saw this, because I haven’t seen natural colors like that before. The landscape throughout the drive from Albuquerque to Bloomfield was just beautiful, though I didn’t get any good pictures of it because I was, at the last minute, assigned as a driver for one of the vehicles. I really enjoy driving though, so it was all good.
