One of the great benefits of my job is ...that as a youth pastor, I get to take my teens on trips that are spiritually focused but also lots of fun.
We (me and my wife, another couple, and 17 seniors from our Christian school) left Charleston, SC this morning and travelled to Harrisburg, PA. We will be going to HersheyPark tomorrow. Saturday brings along Philadelphia and all of the historical sights. Sunday is a rest day with church and The King of Prussia Mall in the afternoon. Monday is a quick venture up the coast to good old NYC to see Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, Empire State Building, Central Park, and of course Times Square. Tuesday is a travel day to DC that ends at a Nationals game. Wednesday through Friday brings Arlington, National Zoo, Archives, Smithsonian, The Holocaust Museum, a Marine Corp Band Concert, Capitol Tour, and of course a meeting with Senator Jim DeMint and Congressman Henry Brown. Whether you like their policies or not, that's ok. I happen to have met Congressman Brown on many occasions and and super excited to meet Jim DeMint. AND OF COURSE, I brought along a pen to give to each of them. Senator DeMint is a fan of fountains so I made him a 10KTI JR Gent fountain in beautiful curly Afzalia. Congressman Brown is getting a 10KTI Jr Gent rollerball in stained curly maple. (I also brought along some extras with some business cards!!)

Anyway, I know that many of you are Christians, as I am, and I would sincerely appreciate your prayers for us as we enjoy this trip.

Thanks, Dennis

Dennis, that is awesome. We are going to be in DC next week too for the FRC Pastor's Briefing. Really looking forward to it. We went to church with Henry in Charleston while he was still in state senate. I really like him. We get to hear Jim DeMint while there too. Have fun, sounds like a great trip but I bet you will be TIRED!
 
Hershey park was great, God gave us beautiful weather. Please pray that this will be a trip that has eternal rewards in the lives of these seniors. Thanks, Dennis.
 
Glad to hear you're having such a grand time. You may miss your lathe but think of all the memories you're providing for those kids! Our prayers are with you.
