Staying up to 3am in the morning talk about life, business and God ... this is Urbana!

Urbana has been an excellent time to learn. I've been a track called "Business as Missions" - which looks at how being involved in being a businessperson is just a strong and meaningful calling as someone who is involved in full time ministry, as a pastor. Some of this I've heard before, but the battery of incredible and accomplished speakers, and some interesting content, has been a good challenge for me.

What I've enjoyed even more is the hanging out. Three of my housemates from business school and I are crammed into a hotel room - leading to numerous late night conversations that have been finishing around 3am each morning! The picture above is of us and a bunch of random people we met - at about 2:30am one rainy St Louis morning - staying up in a bar and chatting about - well - I think it's confidential ...! :)

Great times.
