nice meeting

today i got to meet grant. we ate lunch and talked about what the church can be for around four hours. besides continually running into freaky similarities between out lives (church feelings are very similar, favorite professors at seminary, grant briefly dated a girl that was in the first youth ministry i ministered within, etc.) it was a great day. pam, my great, smart, and incredible wife, has been encouraging me to travel around the country and meet some of these ministers that i have been stealing ideas from and reading their blogs. i may have to take her up on this idea. today was a good start. thanks grant it was fun.
