This morning I woke up – after a horrible night of sleep – had breakfast and then worked on my seminar for tomorrow. But, then I’ve had the chance to meet with some people in college ministry – which is what I love.

I had lunch with Joshua Harrelson. If he looks familiar it’s likely because you’ve seen him in your city working with Passion tours. He’s a great guy, devoted to college ministry, and we’ve been discussing a potential role with him at CollegeLeader. Fun conversation, but more than that, I’ve appreciated a new friendship with him.

I had a turkey club sandwich…with bacon. Was good, but the chips were horrible. But, the best part about the lunch was they had free ice cream. My type of place.

After lunch I walked over to NorthPoint’s Buckhead campus to meet with my friend Brad Horton. He’s the college pastor for NorthPoint. Great guy. Sorry for the blurry picture – he moved and then wouldn’t let me take another picture. Lame. We sat and talked with him and another college ministry leader named Rob McDowell. We had a great conversation about ministry and life. It was the first time I met Rob (sorry, forgot to take pic). Brad and I connect pretty much every time I’m in Atlanta, and every time we’re done I immediately look forward to the next time.

There was an interesting thing I ran into, and just had to try. The most high tech coffee maker I’ve ever seen. Ok, maybe it’s because I haven’t seen a lot or something, but this thing was amazing. The bag of coffee has a filter in it. You place the whole bag in the coffee maker, push how you’d like it on the digital screen (mild, medium, strong) and then it makes it to your taste. The coffee comes out into your cup (obviously), and then the coffee maker disposes of the bag for you. Holy cow. That alone was worth trying it, but the coffee was actually really good too.

Now, off to dinner with another friend before heading north to the Gwinnett Arena for tomorrow’s seminar.
