The Way

So the last two weeks have included a lot of in the car trips. Since I was driving I got to throw my bike in the back so even though I did alot of driving, I did some a couple of fun rides as well. Morgan and I headed out to Chattanooga for a World Changers project and enjoyed some time together along with visiting some great ministry sites. I host Ben Trueblood and Eric Geiger for some of the sites and really enjoyed spending time with them. Both of those guys are great guys who got to see students in action helping others.

When someone asks me a question during a talk/presentation, one of the very first things that pops in to my head is this video. It reminds me to stop, collect my thoughts, and not comment on something that I know nothing about. You have seen this before, but it bears repeating.
