PK 2005 - Day 1

Well,

We went down to Denver (thanks Mike!) and had a great time. The first morning, at 0730L, we met at the church. Everyone packed the two vans we used, we prayed and then Pastor Jeff told everyone to use the facilities if they needed to. Only one of us, Phil, decided to take the pastor up on his offer. For that, he got left at the church. That would be funny enough on it's own, but, we even took a head count to make sure we weren't leaving anyone behind. I won't mention that Phil was in the van driven by Pastor Jeff. So, we got a mile or two away when Pastor Jeff received the call that he needed to go back to church and pick Phil up.

We pit-stopped in Lusk for gas and then headed to Cheyenne, where we stopped for lunch. I called my buddy Chad, who lives in Cheyenne, and told him I was there and would only be there for about half an hour to an hour. Luckily, he was just a few miles away and was able to stop in at the resteraunt (Flying J). We had a good reunion and after it was over, we (the PK travelers) proceeded down the highway to Denver.

We checked into our hotel around 1530L or so and proceeded to our rooms. We got settled in (I roomed with Bob) and hung out until around 1700L. We then left the hotel and found the Pepsi Center. It was an awesome sight to see 12,000 men gathered in one spot. Especially since most of the men were there to worship God. 280 men came to Christ that first night. God is indeed wonderful. The first night was an awesome time of corporate worship, praise and repentance. What more could you really ask for?

Well, that is the hi-light for the first night. When I get time I will post Day 2.

Cheers
