Jan 6 - Late night = Waffle House

Thursday evening, I attended a fantastic youth ministry training event at Duke Divinity School. Mark DeVries spoke for a couple of hours on healthy church systems. While it was material I have heard before, it was really great to be reminded of the importance of striving for and building a youth ministry that is sustainable. I walked away with 2 things I should have done when I first started this new job and just have not gotten around to for whatever reason. I'll start on those tomorrow.

None of that has to do with today's picture. After the seminar, I spent a late evening talking about youth ministry with a couple of buddies at the Waffle House. So this picture stretches into Friday.

How in the world have I lived in North Carolina since May and am just now making it to the fine dining establishment of the Waffle House? We left our late dinner with plans to do it again in a month or so.
