Happy Monday!
We’re hitting the road to Taos, and I’m thinking of today’s word-of-the-week
HOME
This is the first tour I feel like I’m going to miss being home.
A few weeks ago we spoke at a local church about small group leadership. That evening prompted me to reflect on how blessed Becky and I are by our own small group.
We’ve met for several years with the same couples. Our Bible studies are wonderful, but I’ve really come to appreciate the relationships that have developed over those years. As I look forward to the trip, I realize how much I’ll miss our Monday evenings together.
I don’t have a lot of friendships in which I feel like I can be transparent. It means a lot to have people who know me, with whom I don’t need to pretend, and who I know will accept me unconditionally. I’ve grown in my relationship with Jesus because these folks make it safe to be honest.
We need folks who will challenge us, support us, and always be there when we need someone who understands. If you’re not in a small group, I encourage you to start one. If you are, nurture those relationships. They’re precious.
I’m excited to see what God has in store for TAOS TO TUCSON. I know we’ll meet special people and hear incredible stories.
But I look forward to getting back to our regular Monday night gatherings. I’ll miss our friends.

I hope you’ll follow along as we crank through New Mexico and Arizona. We’ll be pretty busy, so posts here will be less frequent during October. You can click on the chain ring below to get RICH’S RIDE blog updates delivered to your inbox.
