Welcome to Calgary!

So I'm here for the weekend in beautiful Calgary to give a whole lot of leadership talks as part of "The Joshua Project" - to lead 50 young leaders in a Business Case Study, and then relate it to ministry ... and then to give some bible teachings with another group of 50 leaders-in-training at a 2 day retreat in Canmore/Banff (about an hour ish out of Calgary, in the Rockies).

So, given that all the action was happening Friday night/Saturday/Sunday, I flew up on the Thursday so I could have Friday to sightsee, with my friend Darren, who I met in the O.C. ...

... we had an awesome time. Firstly, we ate steak (the famous Alberta Beef), then shopped for souvenirs for a bit, then went up Calgary Tower and got a great view of the snowy city, then went ice skating on this frozen lake near Darren's house (pictured), where we(tried to) rollerskate and play ice hockey.

Um, I didn't get very far - but luckily for me, photos can be deceiving! :)
