Nashville, Baby

A great big shout out to Gavin for his touring skillz. The man is downright gracious and I appreciated his early morning pick up at the airport, and day-long adventure in and through Nashville, with a stop to visit J Norm at Hermitage UMC, and the Tin Roof for lunch with both of the youth superheroes along with tech and GC guru Jay Voorhees.

I loved the Emerging/Emergent Conversation we had and I wanted to draw some traffic crosswise for some great posts recently in the blogosphere about just such things. Definitely read through the links on TallSkinnyKiwi for your continued edification and conversation starter. It makes for great dialogue with Scot McKnight and the great work he did. Keeps a young pastor on his toes.

Of course there were always high-jinx. One involved a little wait for the ole' train on Elm Pike Hill, another a trip down memory lane on behalf of my retired UMC minister at Del Rosa UMC as we cruised Trevecca Nazarene University (It was still Trevecca College when he went there), and most notably a video reference (more to come later).

Peace,
DC
