Highlight of the Week – Emergent Mid-Atlantic Conference with Pete Rollins and John Franke at the Holy Trinity Church in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. This went really well and am grateful for Thomas, Scott, Todd, Charlie and the many friends like Evan and Derek Cooper who supported the time. It was fun and meaningful. It’s sorta like youth group for the philosophy/theology kids. Where youth group need dodge ball, these nerds need coffee (thanks One Village Coffee).
Then there was the time with Pete. Loved what he said at the conference, appreciated the personal time, thrilled that he stayed over our house (put the unwashed pillow case on ebay. Expecting Evan to bid high). He worshipped at our church (he thought our pastor preaches well. The sermon was on giving).
I plan on blogging about it all … in 2009.
Grateful for – 1. Gary Schnittjer’s class on Conquest to Christ. I learned a great deal. 2. A solid youth group meeting last week. You can’t gauge how you feel from week to week in a youth group (if you plan on having a healthy state of mind) but it was one of our better times together. Also grateful for our new senior pastor.
Looking forward to – Spending some time at home. Though I have a had a great time traveling around and enjoying conferences and events, I am looking forward to being home for a little while. Baby Nathan has early signs of his first real cold. More exciting, he’s learning how to crawl.
