a week in wilmore, ky can be compared to a week in the promised land. everyone talks like i do...everyone is on the same page as me...the joy of seeing family force five 3 times in 2 days is kind of a dream....rex the rabbit dancing on stage with family force on 2 out of the 3 is unreal (look out for rex on stage at all the festivals this summer)...

the conversations i got to have were very good for the most part...there was a lot of recovery that was started on this trip...it is always an encouragement to get to plant a seed in that. the conversation that stood out more than anything was the woman who tried to convince me masturbation was okay (probably 45 years old). after i had shared my opinion and knew it was going absolutely nowhere, i told her, "tj actually knows a lot about the subject...why don't you go talk to him?"

yesterday was a solid day...father's day snuck up on me (got my dad some yard tools)...father's day i spent more reflecting on who my father is than anything. tj is convinced that if you are a christian in the south, you go to campmeeting (a whole other story...will talk about it later) and you know greg rose (my father). my dad is an interesting guy in that no matter who your are, whther he has any idea of who you are, or if he even cares who you are, he will come up to you, ask you how you are, ask you where you're from, and thank you for your support of xxxchurch. i promise you people who came up to the xxxchurch booth when my dad was over probably thought he was an intern...he's 55. i'm down eating some dinner with my girlfriend's family at one point (wonderful time with her this weekend) and i get a call from my little sister...see craig just tells us to shut down the booth if we are ever away or want to go do something else...so tj and i shut down the booth for dinner at this point...this phone call from my little sister goes something like this..."stephen!! there were people standing around the booth and dad opened it up and is selling stuff!" cracks me up...upon reflecting about my dad, i realized he is probably the most genuinely friendly and happy people i know...the lord has blessed him with that, and he uses it to his advantage...

everyone should know greg rose...and if you're a christian in the south you probably already do...

solid..
