Right now I’m in the Bangor, Maine airport with my beautiful wife headed to Australia. Sadly, my dulcimer must remain at home, and of course, my beautiful family as well.
We will spending a week with great friend Di Hocking and the Australian Vineyard community’s worship leaders. I deeply believe that our time together will be pivotal in many ways – feasting on friendship, reflecting on formative ideas for worship leaders and faith communities that have chosen the flaming path of worship, and enjoying the beauty of God’s work among us and around us.
In many years of travel, there is always a warm fondness in me for Australia and New Zealand – it feels like a gifted relationship with the Body of Christ there, and it also may be because the magnetic pull on the metals in my body is… different.
Pray for our time, blogging friends, if you would be so kind. Any comments or words of encouragement would be welcome. I take us all with me when I go.
I love the global learning community that we are forging!

Hi Dan
I agree with both Phil and Alissa’s comments. Both Anita and yourself made a huge difference to our gathering, and that is only because you allowed God to use you both.
I know you both were blessed, slightly renewed and had fun getting to know us all.
Bless you mate … Rossy
Thanks Dan…
For giving of yourself so vulnerably and freely over the past few days on Oz. I started day 1 back home around the flame and in the Psalms – so meaningful, so memorable. For me the last few days felt like I came back home to a family of loving like minded friends.
Blessings to you and Anita and the pilgrimage you are embarking on.

What a rich time to be together. It was a gift guys, and after this NZ time, too, I think we’ll be seeing one another again next year.
Cheers to the future and a lifelong learning community.
Hi Dan,
Still pondering on the words you gave us at the retreat. So much depth that I want to learn more about. Would love to get on board with Essentials. so, where do I sign up?
