Was driving through the chick-fil-a drive thru on my way to small groups tonight and realized I hadn’t bought a snack. So I got 90 nuggets. Brought nugs for the nugs.

I’m mostly glad to have had a couple great days in Chicago with the GLS NextGen cohort of youth workers. But I’m also glad to be flying home with no travel for 2.5 weeks.

got to do a workshop today at the Young Life Southwestern Division staff launch (local, so that was easy!). the workshop next door to mine was with my dear friend Crystal Kirgiss (who I didn't know was in town). Sad I didn't get a pic; but we were both heading into our workshops!

Stoked to speak to a small group of student leaders this week at a camp in eastern South Dakota. Beautiful setting, cool camp format. Just wish it wasn’t in the high 90s!! (Whiny boy)

If some politician would run on the single issue of banning loud speaker phone conversations in public spaces, I would support that candidate.

Congrats to my many Argentine friends, and condolences to my many English friends.
