I got home from work at arbout 4:45 and immediately started writing up a study for Friday night. I had about an hour before I really needed to leave... Well, at 6:15, I mostly had the study written. I'm GenX to the bone.

I've been a little bit torn of late on mission trips; people spend lots of money to go spend a week far from home and yet, there's a mission field right around them. I know what my mission field is: It's 20somethings and 30somethings in South St. Louis County. And trust me: There are lots of them.
