At Jubilee 2011…
I’m in Pittsburgh, PA for a few days for the Jubilee Conference. It’s a gathering of a couple of thousand people, mostly college students, in downtown Pittsburgh (a beautiful city, gorgeous rivers and bridge everywhere)
I’m excited about hearing some good teaching from Soong-Chan Rah, Bob Goff, and others. (Goff is the guy Donald Miller writes about in his book ‘Million Miles’ who hosts a parade in his neighborhood every New Year’s Day).Mostly though I’m excited about spending time with my dear friend Jim Schmotzer and some of his staff, Seth & Stead. Jim and I have known each other for around 14 or 15 years. We share a common love of Over the Rhine, all things leadership, and the life-changing game of baseball. He has taught me so much over the years, asking me the right questions, opening his life to mine, it has been an unbelievably valuable friendship for me for all these years. That’s the real reason I’m in Pittsburgh.
Of course, you can’t go to Pittsburgh without eating at Primanti Brothers…something that sounds and looks horrific, (some kind of meat, french fries, cole slaw, & tomatoes all smashed together in one sandwhich) but it’s really pretty good…
