… was amazing! I don’t even know where to begin. Thursday night with the (almost) opening of St. E’s, Friday with a party extraordinare, Saturday with time for prayer and worship, lunch at PF Chang’s, Sunday at Matt’s for a fun (but ultimately disappointing) Bengal’s game. Like both of my Off The Map experiences of late, it was the quality of people present that made the gathering so good. Here’s my best effort attempt at a list of those present and from where they hail…

…and obviously lots more who don’t have blogs/web presence. Amazing. These are incredible people. They represent communities, households, churches, and neighborhoods. They are kingdom people. They “bring it” on a daily basis.
Amazing.
(Oh, lots of them have posted on the weekend, check out what they say)
