Looking Back at Day 1

Hey guys,

This is the first time I have had anytime to open my computer on the trip.  The word of the day for Sunday was long.  We woke up at 3:30 AM to get ready to load up.  We left church at 4:00 AM and with the help of Jack McCloskey and Roger Johnson made our flight in perfect time.  Our connecting flight went through Atlanta.  We all were pretty hungry and went out into the airport to get food.  Megan and I had spotted Kristian Stanfill and his band in the airport so we figured that meant we were sharing a flight.  When we landed, Megan took a paparazi shot of him.

We then got on a bus and headed towards the city.  The bus had some gospel music blaring and we got to our hotel about 12:30.  We couldn't get to our rooms yet so we dropped our stuff and headed our for some lunch.  We made the long walk to the convention center to register.  It's about 3/4 a mile to the convention center and the convention center itself is a mile long.  The first session started about 7.  It was an awesome first night.  Francis Chan spoke on the supremacy of Christ and that all things were made through Him and for Him (the message will be on the web at some point and I will link it).  We closed out the night with 6000+ people singing How Great Thou Art/How Great is Our God.  I will get some more pictures up tonight.  We have had some awesome discussions as a group.  It's been a sweet time so far.
