Saturday night my wife and I had a little time away from the kids. One of the things we enjoy doing is exploring college campuses. I know, kind of a weird thing to do on a date night. But we love it and the truth is both of us get very excited about college ministry every time we’re on a new campus.

Again, I know, might be kind of weird too, but that’s us. So, we walked around Willamette University for about an hour, checking out the student union, library, law school, etc. It’s the oldest university in the West, started in 1842. Over 150 years this university has been there. Crazy to think of it that way.

Plus, we get to sit in places like this, sat on these really cool white lawn chairs (with this view), and talked about all the potential that was moving onto this campus this coming week. We also talked about our lives, direction for the coming year, things on the calendar. One of the things we’re most excited about this fall (besides things in our church) is that I’ll be speaking at a variety of campuses this year. Should be fun. Anyway, a fun little date night for us…

*Check out the CollegeLeader Conference for a weekend of training.
