I just finished up my first roundtable, and it was a great time! We were hosted by Jason Powell and the fellas at GCC, and for my first one it was a fabulous experience. Just a bunch of people sitting around talking and sharing. The combined knowledge base of this group has to be enormous. I have a great set of notes and some action items now, hopefully the Kansas City roundtable next week will be just as good. It’s a wondeful thing for a group of people to come together and share in the happiness and the struggles.

I was able to get a ton out of this roundtable, and I hope that I was able to contribute just a little as well. Now I can’t wait for Kansas City!

At 12:30 on Tuesday (9/25) Jason and I set off for Granger, IN, heading for the IT roundtable. A couple of hours into the drive we somehow managed to drive into a monsoon. As is it was raining like crazy, I felt the front of the car raise slightly as we began to hydroplane. The car then drifted slowly to the left, the back to the right, to the left again then we went into a spin. We did a 180 (half turn) into the right lane between two semi’s, then slid off of the road into the ditch.

Amazingly we weren’t hurt and little happened to the car. There was definite evidence of Gods protective hand during this. I have thanked God every day.

I may put up a small video so you can see what happened…no denying the hand of God.
