Pastors Gathering

For more that a decade, I have attended the Carolina Pastors Gathering. It is a retreat of sorts for Wesleyan pastors in NC. We alternate our meeting location between the mountains and the beach during the second week of September. This year we were at the beach, Oak Island, NC, just south of Wilmington.

I like the beach and the mountains. Probably the beach a little better. However, for me it's not the location. In fact, it's not really the speaker. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the speakers. In fact, Kerry Willis was with us this year, and he was great. He is the real deal, a great leader and has passion.

For me, it is being with other pastors. Laughing. Learning. Listening. I have some great friends that have have invested greatly in me. Thanks guys!

I will say that the view at the beach (and the mountains) makes it easy to connect with God.
