Arctic Blast hits Dallas

The local news this morning alarmed in big bold red letter, “Arctic Blast,” as the southbound interstate in front of my hotel was shut down for hours when a tractor trailer flipped over on the icy roads. The temperature has dropped almost 40 degrees overnight, but it’s not That Cold. Come on, it’s in the 30s, a little ice and sleet on the roads, not that hard to maneuver, and nowheres near Arctic cold. Now, explorer Ben Saunders would know what cold really is – his TED talk about solo skiing across the North Pole was most inspiring!

So, been on the phone for 4 hours, after 2.5 full days of liveblogging. Loved finding out what’s happening with 2 churches that are responding to the move of the Spirit in personal transformation and empowering leaders. Shared an overview of the self-publishing print-on-demand process I’ve gone through 2x this year with someone who might use that process to get a book published. Checked-in with a colleague on a forthcoming blog on leadership books. Launch date is December 11th, and we’re on schedule. And, dinner in 15 minutes with Jason “el mol” Mitchell. Life is good – and I’m wearing one of their long sleeve tees today too!
