It seemed that Forest Gump had the uncanny ability of being right in the middle of major events.  Sometimes, I feel like I also end up smack dab in the middle of current events.  In October, we flew to San Diego, just as the wild fires were starting to spread and people were evacuating. 

While in Charleston, South Carolina, Senator Obama was speaking only a couple of blocks away just before the South Carolina primaries.  The past two days I've been in Washington D.C. and who arrived right behind me?  The Pope.  I heard he may be coming to attend my worship leaders clinic.
