The ATL.

Dan and I pulled into the Atlanta venue, Atlanta Community Fellowship with moments to spare before the 7 pm show. We were sweating “like it was our job” (a popular saying among the FF team…oh yes, we are a team. Embroidered, tear away sweatsuits are coming!) Dashing into the church which was quickly filling with gear strapped to his back Dan quickly went about placing tripods in pews before folks could stake their claim. I recall a young excited couple leaning over the pew to ask us if they were allowed to sit in the second row. They wondered if someone more important than them was coming and if they should move. Who could be more important than you?! You coming to join community to listen and learn and question and make new the idea of kingdom. Sweat pouring off me I told him he was fine right where he was.

The church filled up and the overflow became the grassy courtyard next door with a speaker set in the corner. As the sun, the temperature and the humidity dropped what a wonderful evening to spend setting on the lawn of a little church building listening to old words with new ears.

   Man – that was a great day! It was great seeing so many people come into the hood. And it was amazing to see so many people make a pilgrimage to ATL – many coming from Alabama, SC, and even Mississippi. The Spirit is up to something misjevious…
