Sending Daddy Off Again

Today we're packing Dave up for New Attitude, which is in Louisville again this year. He flies out tomorrow so that he can be there bright and early Friday morning for load-in and set-up. He'll be back next Tuesday night, I think, late.

It's always a joy to release my husband to serve at this conference. He does such a great job of mixing, and this is one of the few occasions where he really gets to concentrate on this particular skill. Plus, this year's conference brings a fun challenge--adding a 20-something piece orchestra to one or two of the sessions! (Hopefully I'm getting the details right.)

However--and this is a big however--the man of our family certainly will be missed. Not the least by this little person:

You should see her on Mondays lately. She is all Daddy's girl on his day off; you can tell how much she misses him during the rest of the week. On Mondays, Daddy is Meg's playmate, personal chef, chief book-reader, pillow, snuggle-buddy, and slave. Anything that is to be done for her must be done by Daddy. Anywhere that she is to go, Daddy's gotta take her there. It's pretty cute.

Your doting family will be praying for you, my David. Thanks for using your gifts to serve the Lord... and thanks for always coming back home to us. We love you so.
