we are in los angeles right now....dale and i.......i have met some of the most amazing people i have ever met in my life here and this is why........i have seen more christlike joy......passion for the lost......love for people......hospitality for strangers......oh the list goes on......real christianity in action......it is so refreshing......so inspiring.........the amazing thing is that many of the people here for this conference are in transition like we are.......their lives in limbo.....many don't know where they will be living next week......many have lost jobs.......most have been wounded by the church........but yet, still that unwavering love and joy......selfless love........

it's only day two........and even after my day of hollywood boulevard, beverly hills and rodeo drive.......the richness and amazement in my life right now comes only from the people i have met.......no souvenir can compare to that..........

more to come.......
