Each February it seems I end up in Phoenix for Pastor Tommy Barnett’s Pastor’s School.

Going to Phoenix First Pastor’s School is annual pilgrimage to remind me of what is important for the life of a pastor. That pilgrimage always brings me back to the importance of people and how much we all matter to God and to each other.

One of my all time favorite sessions each year is sitting in the Prayer Pavilion either by myself or with just one or two others and listening the voice that gives me real clarity in a world that many times is very cluttered by too many voices.

Here is the prayer pavilion  I love to spend time in.

Another great thing is getting to see friends from all over the country.
