Intensity Well Lived

Our first day in Chicago has passed with a sudden gust of wind and the slowness of foot traffic. So much has happened today that events before lunch seem like a day or two ago and even had willy refering to them as Yesterday. There is the hustle and bustle of going to hear speakers, seeing Willy’s old stomping grounds, eating, getting coffee, and looking for places for the girls to stop and use the bathroom. But the pace crawls as we walk from place to place, taking in the city from corner to corner, with new sights to greet us at each turn. We stopped for coffee and lunch at a little café, and while we were eating and listening to some jazz, sombody noticed the presence of snow falling from the sky, which at some points of the day had turned into blustery wind-driven snow that left 2 or 3 inches of snow on the ground. Standing in the snow, I couldn’t help but smile and have a spring to my step at the joy of experiencing an actual winter. The seminars too were amazing. Today we saw two. The theme for the whole week of founder’s week is that of “God’s Word.” The first one guy read from hebrews on the whole idea that “God Speaks” and went off from there (check out the blog – God Speaks) The second guy talked about the Church as God sees it. That we ought to major in the majors- as he put it “The main thing is that the main thing remains the main thing, mainly” He also put forth a phrase > intesity well lived. I want to be intensity well lived. Im going to bed now. If you wanna check out founders week go here www.foundersweek.com and you can actually download the messages. On a side note the worship band for the evening session was an orchastra, pretty rad. Anyways Later Adam
