Meet me in St. Louis......


So, I am finally here. The restaurant is nearly ready to go. It has been so easy.... which normally translates to .... it will be really crazy when we open. After 20 years in the biz... here's prayin that we don't have any major hiccups!!!


The Lou-- If you don't like baseball... do not come here. It is a baseball town. I spent some of the day today talking to the Cardinals about tickets for the staff!! We are going down there tomorrow to fire some people up....


Two weeks ago I was involved in my first major snow storm in 4 years. I sat on my balcony and shed a few tears for my dear past Detroit days. It was so beautiful. God is so alive! I loved driving in it. I loved throwing a snowball at an unsuspecting person. I loved that it took me an hour to drive 11 miles in 4 inches of slush....listening to Pastor Chris Williamson.


I have managed to rent my house in Nashville!!! I am so excited that I have been able to do so... and be able to afford where I live here. Praise God!!!


I have found an amazing church. The first time I went.... in my head I said, "he better talk about Jesus." I walked in and he spoke of a personal relationship with Jesus. The second time I went... in my head I said, "he better not tell me I have to come to church and be involved." The first thing he said was church starts when you leave the building. Not here. You have to be a light out there. We want you to come here and fill your cup to go out there. Needless to say, it is nothing like Strong Tower in Franklin, but I do believe it is where STBCH was in the beginning. Non-denominational and multi-cultural.


I have been here 3 weeks and I really dig "The Lou!" But please pray for me. It will be tough!!!
