OK, so if you’re looking at this post you’ve either been to Gullifty’s for a very good sandwich or are thinking something else entirely…
This weekend’s adventure was going to Freefall in Harrisburg, PA. As with most events to which I go, everything was geared to 20-somethings and the young adults that went with me and those I met all had an incredible time. Here are some highlights:
The speaker the first night had a challenging message about how we spend our resources in America. So many people around the world are starving while have so much. Most people would agree that it is tragic, but I always have to ask myself what I am doing to help. Someday, we’ll all answer that question.
Tom & I kept running into Matthew Paul Turner. (I was sure he’d think we were stalking him!) I’ve always enjoyed his writing. He’s funny and engaging—and with a lot of good stuff to say. The Coffee House Gospel was the first book of his that I read, and I always recommend it as a good place to start when looking how to do relational evangelism. After meeting Matthew, I can only recommend him more as an author. I’m looking forward to his upcoming book.
Running into Mari! I’m standing in the lobby Friday night and in walks a girl Denise & I worked with years ago when we were doing ministry up in Maine. She got free tickets from someone, saw my name on the flier and looked for me when she got there. I was a great surprise. We hadn’t seen her in years.
Hanging out. I love meeting people and getting to know people better. We had a great time and met a bunch of new people, and I had a great Sandwich—the Pittsburgh Prima Wedgie!
