New-Zealand-Bound

So I'm leaving Wednesday for Aotearoa New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud, as the native Maori call it.

Auckland Bible Church, the church we helped plant 25 years ago, and which we pastored for 8 years, is bringing me back for the anniversary. I'm stoked, to dredge up a long-lost kiwi phrase I'm saying over and over, along with "mate!" to get me in the proper cultural frame of mind.

NZ is also the birthplace of bungee jumping. It's the place you want to go to seize the day.
