My Weekend in IL

My very first home in Evanston, IL

Yesterday, Jason took me on a tour of Evanston---the city where I was born! We drove through Northwestern University and walked around the campus. I found the graduate housing building where I lived from age 0 to 4! He even took me to Evanston Hospital where I was born!

Last night, I played basketball with some of the men from church. I got to share with them over some pizza after the game. It seems like wherever I turn around here, people are trying to get me to eat! :-)

This morning, I shared a video we made of Christine and Jojo in the service introducing themselves. It seemed to go off well. My message on "The Mystery of the Joyful Sacrifice" from Philippians, and especially my solo of "Offering" went off perfectly and I got a lot of good comments afterwards. More importantly, Bethany Baptist is really trying to pledge a fair monthly amount to our support. Pray for their faith-promise pledges. We should know in December about the proposed 2005 budget.

Tonight, I'll be leading worship with the youth group band and sharing informally with the kids. I'm really looking forward to that. 12 hours from now, I'll be heading to the airport to go back home!!!
