On the bus.,....

I am on the bus... with wireless of course... on my way to the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans. We left Yesterday (Tuesday) at 10:30am... it is now Wednesday at 6:45 am.... we have stopped 4 times for potty breaks/food and beverage breaks. We had a nice dinner in St. Louis. All the kids (36) went to the mall to eat/shop till 9pm. All the adults headed to Chilis for a dinner and pow-wow for our wild week ahead.

The ELCA National Youth Gathering is something that takes place every three years. Churches from all over the US gather with high school kids to worship, learn, share in service and experience together. There will be about 30,000 of us total. What an experience that will be. The theme for this year is JESUS, JUSTICE, and JAZZ! Im excited to see how it all ties in.

We are staying at a hotel right in the chaos of it all... across the street from the french quarter. Im looking forward to seeing all my Seminary friends who are now pastors in churches and the ones who are still on internship like me.

We stay till Sunday morning.. then following worship we will hop on the bus for our 19 hour bus ride home. I am hoping to do some blogging while down on the trip... we will see what time permits!

Well because of wireless I have been able to blog... and register for senior fall classes... since I PASSED the BPE(Bible Proficiency Exam),,,, I know I have been putting it off forever...but I passed it this last Monday with a 93%, The hold on my account has been lifted.. along with the huge weights off my shoulders to get it done!

Ok time for a bathroom break!
