notes from colorado


Just got back from the extra large youth ministry conference at GROUP headquarters in Denver. There were about 25 of the greatest youth pastors in the country and we spent three days in discussion and reflection on how to do what we do better. some thoughts...

-Anson is so funny that he makes me want to throw up
-faux pas is my favorite form of humor...(just like the t-shirts, you're big ______)
-leadership credibility = time
-the guys from Lancaster County Bible Church are going to have to get a visit in the soon time. much lol from them.
-fell in love with DAZ COG coffee. (organic from Russia)
-went to Estes Park and saw the Stanley hotel (The Shining, Dumb and Dumber, kinda freaky, kinda lame)
-Coors field and the Rockies are like thinking back to something that was cool at the time, but now feels outdated.
-people in Boulder are either really nice, or really mean. it must be all the patchouli.
-downtown Denver at midnight is much cooler after an energy drink
-some guys just aren't meant to be good at video games (me)
-ate the exact same breakfast four days in a row
-experiential is my favorite way to learn
-thanks Russ for your word into my life. it meant much
-walked away from some things in my life that i had been carrying around for way to long.
-missed my wife like crazy
