Sunday, April 23

Park in the morning...Wow, every time I go to that church I feel like the speaker is talking directly to me. The sermons/messages have applied to me every time. It's almost weird, but I know that's a good sign. If only I could pick that church up and move it to Sioux Center for next year. I'll miss it. We heard about the building plans within the next year to fix up a building in Cabrini Green. Oh man, I know they'll do great work in that neighborhood.
I hope next week to go to Willow Creek, if I can find a ride. Mom said I HAVE to go there...it's a mega church...I've heard a lot of mixed feelings about those churches, but I'm really looking forward to going because Park Community church is a daughter church of Willow Creek...I hope the service on Sunday isn't too simple though.

This afternoon I went to the ESTC (Easter Seals Training Conference) Media Training session. I enjoyed it a lot..and took lots of notes. The session was about making the most of media and communication and the right way to go about it if something negative happens in the company. Tomorrow through Wednesday I'll be at this conference...other people at the conference are CEOs and other executives from various Easter Seals affiliates from around the country.
