Day 2 is in many ways day 1

Today was the actual first day of LIFE 2010. So, we've seen a ton more people that are here for LIFE. Our first taste of that? At the restaurant we tried to go to, "Steak and Shake." Packed. Standing room only. It would've been a total tragedy except that the shakes were amazing!

Went to a Wal-Mart Supercenter to pick up snacks. Good times...

This trip, like any trip with teens, is not without drama. A little here, a little there. Makes for a variety of experiences, and as they say, "Variety is the spice of life!"

To continue the van saga: Went with Andrew Laudenslager to get the spare tired replaced and the back break light replaced. We dropped off the van, and walked to McDonald's to wait (McD's was a good 15 minute walk away causing massive sweating and requiring a delicious fruit smoothie to remedy). After we walked back, we discovered that they fixed the tire, but forgot to change the bulb, prompting us to return. Turns out the issue, though, is not with the bulb but is with the wiring or something similar requiring a trip to the dealership. Fun. Waiting on Enterprise to tell us how to fix that up...

First session tonight was pretty good. Jason Ostrander spoke (He's the National Youth Director, for anyone who doesn't know). He's pretty good. I wish I could tell you what he spoke about, but many other conversations with students have happened since the session, prompting me to forget exactly. Oh, and mental fatigue may be a contributing factor as well.

God is doing something around here. I'm not totally sure what it is as of yet, and (honestly) I'm a little nervous. God sometimes works great things through difficult situations. May God give us the strength to push through the difficult and emerge into his glory!
