WHAT A WILD WONDERFUL WEEK IT WAS

What alliteration!

Round Table isn't always Round (rarely is round actually)

THANK YOU Dustin, Holly, and Owen Heath for welcoming us in your new home! It was quite an honor to be the first of what I am sure will be many, many, many people that you will be blessed by the Heath's hospitality. 

JP really loved the tacos

 LEADER LUNCH was spectacular!

Steve Childs welcomed us into his new studio called Spinning Stone. Easily the coolest venue for a Leader Lunch ever. (Until this week...hmmm. What could Ned have up his sleeve?)

Steve shared his story and his paintings and glimpses of his movies and read from a living document of life lessons that he wrote just for us! Unbelievable.

This could make the website

After Small Groups we visited with Ron Pegram down at the 14th Street Rec Center. I actually ditched for an interview with a potential Fellow.

Then, we all met up at Crafted for dinner.

We've got lots of eating pics this week I'm realizing

Thursday I had a Program Committee Meeting with our Board then went to Wake Forest for a meeting. 

They reserved a spot for me! How cool is that?

I almost kept it. Maybe should have. 

Friday. We all took the Enneagram Test. 

(see details below on how you can take it).

Then we had our first class of the semester Spiritual Formation with Joe Moore! Joe is an amazing guy. He was the head of Spiritual Formation for Intervaristy (like all of Intervarsity) - and now he is teaching us!!!

I took lots of notes before I lost my journal over the weekend! Yikes!

(more on my weekend in a bit).

- Luncheon with Tony Evans on Racial Reconciliation

A sad note. On Tuesday, I will be attending the funeral of one of my heroes, Ray Seigler. obituary link

I was a member of Ray's "Young Guns" whom he mentored for several years. I will always be thankful for that. Ray is also responsible for starting the Raleigh Fellows. His impact cannot be measured. Please pray for our family in Raleigh. The whole city is mourning.

Thanks all. Keep spreading the word and the love.
