Spring break! (Better late than never.)



It was a long, cold winter this year. And it's taken forever for the temperatures to warm up this spring. But spring has given birth to many new things, including a great launch event for Urban Potential called UP08 and the release of a new Len Sweet book, The Church of the Perfect Storm, which includes a chapter written by yours truly.

What's spring without a spring break? So, this weekend, Brenda and I packed our bags on a moment's notice and headed south to the Twin Cities. After spending a night in Monticello, Minnesota, we headed off to the outlet mall at Albertville. Normally, I'm not a fan of temples to consumerism, but this time I actually found some great deals ... including a new pair of shoes, a couple Nike caps (that fit my big head), and a new black shirt.



After leaving Albertville, we packed up our purchases and headed to the other local temple, the Mall of America. This is where Brenda found her deals. Me, I found the Apple Store and spent about 3 hours in there talking to concierges, specialists, and geniuses. My first attempt to purchase a case for my iPod left me confused. Where do you pay? Turns out, just about everyone who works in the Apple Store carries a POS machine. They swiped my card and emailed my receipt. Nice.



Today, we head down Highway 61 to Dave's Guitar Shop -- one of my favorite places in the world.

    I'm the lead pastor at Central Baptist Church and the lead guitar player for the Royal Unruh Band (RUB). Lead pastor + lead guitar player = rock 'n' roll preacher. I'm also working on a doctorate in postmodern missiology with Leonard Sweet. I have one amazing wife, two great kids, and twelve guitars. You can catch me most Sunday mornings at the church house, or tune in the GodTalk Radio Show on Sunday nights from 9-11 (Central) on CJOB 680 AM or www.cjob.com.
