Wow, where did the day go? It was full, that’s for sure. A bunch of us ate hot peppers at the SermonSpice booth. I managed to munch down a jalepeno, but a few of our braver souls opted for the habenero. I got the shakes,the sweats, and the hiccups. Not good. Kim might have signed us up to teach English in China for a 9 month run; we’ll have to check on that later this week…She did sign up to sell Ugly Mug Coffee as a fundraiser for our adoption. Our case worker met us yesterday to talk a little more about where we are.
Personally, I’d say the highlights for me today were Shane & Shane and Crowder. Mark Yaconelli’s talk made me think and gave our group something to talk about.
Our church staff has been wrestling with busyness. A few years ago our youth staff decided to be intentional about slowing down, doing less, focusing on relationships rather than full calendars. But the overall feell around the church is still pretty busy. I’m going to go back to my notes and see what surfaces later this week.
The Skit Guys have become a favorite among our team. One of our leaders is a theater major at PSU, and she got to chat with the Skit Guys following their seminar. She loved them, and appreciated them taking the time to talk with her.
None of us quite knew what to think about the Church Basement Road Show. We couldn’t figure out if it was spoofin on the church, or if it was a serious bit. I kind of expected more of a Phyllis Tickle talk from Tony Jones, some deep emerging church stuff.
Most of us passed on the Lost & Found late night, which meant we missed the Skit Guys as well. We went off in search of a place to grab some food instead. Pgh is surprisingly slow on a Sunday night after 10. Who knew?
A large part of our crew headed back to State College following the Crowder portion of the evening, which was stinkin’ awesome, btw. We’ve got a team meeting this Thursday night, so we’ll have some good time for sharing.
I’m looking forward to hearing Marko’s closing talk tomorrow, and then we’ll hit the road. Now it’s time to hit the sack. G’nite.
