I’m headed to Minneapolis, Minnesota tomorrow to do a little reconaissance at Solomon’s Porch (http://solomonsporch.com/index.html). They’re doing some unique things so I wanted to go and get some ideas for our coffeehouse service that we’ll launch at Ebenezers in January of ’06.

I’m taking Parker with me and we’re going to head up to Alexandria, Minnesota where our family used to vacation every year when I was growing up. It during during a prayer walk through a cow pasture near Lake Ida that I felt called to ministry in August 1989. I can’t even put into words how it feels knowing that’ll I’ll be in Alex tomorrow night. I feel like I’m eight years-old again. I remember the intense anticipation for weeks before vacation. I could hardly wait. That’s how I feel today.

I’ll preach at Union tomorrow and then head to the airport.
