My trip thus far

I love Rockford. It has been a little surreal being here again. I flew into Chicago and everything was familiar. We drove into Rockford and everything was familiar. It's the same with the church and the Master's areas. What is not familiar is the people. Two years of students have come through here since I have been gone. They have experienced the same life that I lived here, yet we do not know each other. Somehow, despite our differences and space of time, we are family. We are connected at the roots by our amazing God and this incredible experience.

Great quote from this morning's worship: "I will not doubt in the darkness what you have told me in the light."

Last night, Amy's AC (accountability cell) had a slip n slide out behind the DTC (student housing). It was an absolute blast. We cooked out, and literally had every meat possible: beef, chicken, buffalo, sausage, salmon, and another fish. It was hilarious. So good though. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed throwing myself down the slip n slide; however, the bruises all over my legs would say otherwise. haha Enjoy a couple of pictures:

Me and Amy (pre-slip n slide):


And post:


Chris Robertson seran wrapped himself to make himself more slippery. It was hilarious!!


Tonight Amy and I are going to Sarah Hubert's wedding. She was my AC mom when I was here, so we were extremely close. I feel so honored to have the opportunity to share this day with her. I'll post some pictures later.

By the way, I cannot access MySpace here. Sorry to the faithful over there.

Miss you, friends.
