Well, I am back home at this time. It's midnight and I'm not tired...jetlag?? (How do you spell jetlag?)

I need to finish well with this blog thing. If I don't write this tonight it will not get finished. To those of you who have followed along, thanks for joining me on my journey.

Sunday was a great day--a great end to a great trip. After two morning church services where Robert Ferguson gave an amazing message on "The Harvest" and Reuben led the band with Nigel on guitar, Matt and I cooked up some steaks and headed back to the church for "Sunday Night Live" themed "Mission Possible". I finally saw Joel Houston play, who was gone for most of my time there. It was awesome. I got myself involved in some sort of worship-moshpit in front of the stage--I think the last time I moshed was in 1996 at a Greenday concert. The band covered a Jack Johnson song as a special 'item' which fit into a multimedia program. Very cool. This is the only service that absolutely packs the convention center (their main building--approx 4500 capacity). After seeing the effort they put into it, it's no wonder.

The day ended with Masman Curry at a little Thai restaurant that we stumbled upon. After fillng our faces, I said goodnight to Sydney for the last time on this trip. I pray that I will be back some day.

So, here I am, back to real life. I feel changed. I always wonder how much of the inspiration and wonder stays with us after these mountain-top experiences. Well, I will not write it off. I learned what I needed to learn on this trip. I went where I needed to go, and I am the person I needed to become.

Well, thanks again for reading. Hope you enjoyed my Auzzie Experience.  I want to give a special shout out to Matt who put me up, Rick and Michelle who made this all possible, to all Matt's roommates who put up with me, to Dale who gave me the time off, and to my family who didn't get too ticked that I skipped the reunion for this.  You are all very gracious and I appreciate you.

ps. --and just in case you were wondering--'yes, first class was just as good the second time as it was the first.'
