Had a great time hanging out over at The Awakening, the youth ministry at Memorial Baptist Church, Sunday night. Thanks to David for letting me come speak to the group about 704 and homosexuality (not that the 2 are related except for the “o” sound in both). David’s got a great group of teens out there who got to watch me sweat somewhere around a gallon of the salty stuff while I spoke. Yeah, it was weird. Don’t quite know what was up with that, but the good news for the youth on the front row is that my pores aren’t smaller or else I would’ve SQUIRTED on them. I know they were relieved.

It’s not every youth group that allows a speaker to talk about homosexuality without laughing and giggling nervously and the fact that they didn’t just shows the level of ministry that David’s building out there. I was impressed. I was also thankful for the chance to get a youth group talking about 704 and giving us their ideas about what would be good in the youth center. To see what they came up with (including a great idea that will never happen), visit the 704 blog.

The first of 5,000 704 Static Clings goes on Jennifer’s car last night during our prayer and planning meeting for 704. It was a great day – the clings came, our 704 banners arrived, and we really honed down our presentation which we’ll be giving a couple of times over the next few weeks. It all starts tonight at Second Street Presbyterian in Albemarle, NC.

Make sure you’ve got The 704 Blog bookmarked. It’s a great way to stay informaed about what’s happening with The 704 Project.

The Autumn Ramp Park is awesome (and we’ll be adding plenty of pictures soon so stay tuned). Here’s a little video we shot while taking it all in. More once we’re back home.
