Kansas City

Sorry for the delay on posting an update! We didn't have internet at my house until today and we were traveling!! The group of guys spent a majority of the weekend traveling to Kansas City where we had the opportunity to bond as a group of guys and learn more about the community of friends in Kansas. It was a great trip! I saw St. Louis, Nashville, and Kansas City! All beautiful cities with beautiful landscapes.
While we were in KC we visited with Doug and Judy Hall, who I had been wanting to meet since Feb. (I was supposed to try and meet them when I was at the National Prayer Breakfast). It was nice to sleep in a bed after a 20 hour car ride! We listened to many people share their thoughts on life and how we should pursue our purpose. The total time we spent in KC was probably close to 40 hours which was about the same amount of time we spent in the car!
I really enjoyed getting to know the guys...probably the best part of the whole trip, I learned more about their backgrounds and the experiences that have shaped them into who they are today.
Throughout the entire trip we really focused on what our purposes are and what that looks in our daily lives. I've been blessed with being around men and women of God that have really pushed me to look at what my purpose is, so this discussion is not new but it is still challenging. We discussed Matthew 22 briefly and what Jesus talks about for purpose, check it out let me know what you think. We are going to be talking a lot about this question over the next few days and weeks, so I'm excited to hear what the mentors have to say and what you have to say.
Tomorrow promises to be an event filled day! Working in the Senators office till 5 then a meeting with the Marty, Tim, and David Coe and then dinner and hopefully time with the other fellows! Hope all is well! Love ya all.
Your welcome to email me your thoughts or I think you can comment on here if you can figure it out.
