Willow Creek Conference

Just got back from a conference at Willow Creek Church. Wow! What a place! The new sanctuary seats 7,500 people... their 'small' sanctuary seats 4,500. There were waterfalls, elevators, escalators, cafe's, wireless internet, dozens of giant LCD monitors... very cool. The conference was great; lots of good ideas and inspiration for neighborhood small groups. Can't wait to implement this stuff here at the church.

I'm getting better with the orthodontic device... still slurring certain words a little bit, but I'm sounding more normal than before.

Really looking forward to the November trip to England with my dad. We're flying into London, then taking a bus to Bristol, where I'll spend a few days at Trinity Theological College working with my Ph.D. advisor John Nolland. Then we'll take a ferry over to Dublin, Ireland, spend a few nights at a hostel, and then head back to London for a few remaining days.

It's starting to get cold here! Down into the 30's last night... I *love* the fall; the leaves, the crisp, cold air, cider & donuts, fireplace, down comfortor...ahhh.

I got my new Sennheiser 555's... they're awesome, but unfortunately they don't insulate the sound very well, so others can hear them... I may have to return them. I might get the Bose headphones, unless Sennheiser has something better.

tried the sennheisers myself, and ended up going with the Bose triport for the same reason. Also, found the bass to be have more impact in the Bose, which apparently audiophiles aren't into, but I love 'em.
