All work and no play

I was working hard this weekend at a church without walls reenergise conference in Aviemore in the Highlands of Scotland. The focus was on the family, so my family went with me. While I was engrossed in stimulating seminars they were... sledging. We see so little real snow in Scotland these days that, when it comes, we have to make the most of it. My kids would never have forgiven me if I'd come back from the weekend and told them of all the snow there was in Aviemore, so it was great to have them there too, sharing in the fun. Knowing that they were close by and having a ball meant that I could relax and soak up the experience.

A huge auditorium at the conference centre became church for the weekend, with loud, lively worship. My kids want to do church like that every week. I'll have to see what I can do!
