tour stop 1 - leland

here are some pics and thoughts from our first stop of the intermission "never say die" tour:



me driving... who knew that hwy 82 was so hilly between starkville and leland? we all felt a little sick when we got there.



typical cameron. by the way, if any of you ever go on a trip with cameron, don't expect him to stay awake for more than about 5 minutes. whatever it is that cameron has is apparently contagious - check out bryan.



leland presbyterian has some amazing stain glass windows. these faith, hope, and love windows were especially nice. as we looked closer, we realized they appeared to be in... wine bottles? let's hear it for the new wineskins!



here we are leading worship. we had a great crowd, some of which you can see in this pic, and we met 5 incoming freshman at the delicious meal they had for us after the service. go bulldogs and hooray for $90 worth of chicken fingers (where is a chicken's finger any way?). boo for yellow delta water, though. thanks for the pic, jason. you are a great roadie.



and he is up. check out this sweet delta sunset behind b-dog. where am i in this pic?



so, on the way home, we decided to stop for a snack. it was a hard choice between what would make us the sickest (and make us have to pee the worst), either krystal's or sonic. sonic won out. sure, krystal's is disgustingly greasy, but sonic has the foot long chili cheese coney and the route 44. any way, we took this pic at the sonic we stopped at in greenwood (we wanted to stake out the local eateries, since we will be there this sunday for tour stop 2). this was inside the sonic building by the door (what exactly goes on in this building is a mystery. just how do they make those slushes the way that they do - the mixing of flavors to make a taste explosion in your mouth?). if you look closely, there is a piece of paper on that hanger that says, "hang your attitude here." sweetness! i will make one of these for my church office one day!

an hour and a half, two broken bladders, and 3 cases of indigestion later, we arrived safely back at the church. after two days of rest, we are pumped and ready to do it again this sunday!

cheers,
jw
