The last stop on my mini-sabbatical: The Festival of Homiletics in Atlanta.
A great chance to be renewed and learn from others preachers from a wide variety of backgrounds.
If you happen to be here, make sure to say hi!

Today, everyone calls him Leo.
One day they called him Abram, the next Abraham. One day Simon, the next Peter. One day Jacob, the next Israel.
