So here I was sitting at my desk reveling in the fact that I was actually ahead of things as I prepared for my trip with the youth group to Salt Lake City when I received a phone call from our mechanic. The words, "undrivable" and "death trap" echoed over the phone and stuck in my head like a misguided lawn dart. The church van, which was our transportation to Challenge '08, went in for an oil change and minor tune up. What they found was that the arm that attaches the front wheels to the steering column had completely rusted through and a solid bump while driving could snap it completely and send the van hurdling in any given direction. FUN! So after a few minutes of panic and a few more of prayer, I had an alternate mode of transportation. Praise God!
In less than 24 hours I am heading to Challenge '08 with a group of teens from our senior high. We will be doing the cheesy Americana stuff such as the Mitchell, S.D. Corn Palace, and Wall Drug as well as some cool things like the Badlands of S.D. and of course Mt. Rushmore. On the way back we will be camping in Estes Park, CO for three days. All this excitement sandwiches a great conference which will challenge us all to take the next step in our faith walk with Jesus.
I AM PUMPED!
