I love Charlotte, NC! I do. I cannot even begin to think about what my favorite part was:
Tim Hawkins?
spending 48 hours with the Hobbles?
the 90 degree weather?
Elevation church?
lunch at The Soda Shop with K and T?
my brief encounter with the enchanting bronze book sculptures off of S Tryol?
having a stand-off with "App-om-a-tax" the bear?
Oh, the competition is fierce, but the Hobbles wins.
(however the book sculpture is a close second).
The whole weekend was just brilliant! Charlotte has definitely redeemed itself; it is now one of my top 5 places to possibly inhabit.
Tim Hawkins was quite funny. There were a few less-than-tasteful jokes, but overall he was very funny. Just watching him walk around the stage in that crazy way would have been enough entertainment for me. But thank you, Tim for going the extra mile; looking funny and being funny is much more entertaining as a pair.
Elevation church was another gift from the Lord. I truly left feeling like I had just been fed the Word of God.
Glory! Glory! Glory!
I was not sure how it was going to go when Sarah and I walked in and there was a DJ spinning in the hallway. My fear was that it was going to feel like a concert and not church, but our fears quickly subdued. Upon entering the "sanctuary", we were greeted by an old movie theater setting with stained glass windows. The worship was wonderful and evoked a sense of "home".
The pastor, although young, was very mature. And I do not mean mature like "stuffy" or "sedated", but mature in the sense that he is clearly serious about his faith and God's calling in his life to lead others. God really used him to speak to me.
Lunch at The Soda Shop with Kenz and Tennant was fun. So fun. It was quaint and unassuming.
The drive to and fro was nothing short of adventurous. We had to avoid a fallen tree in the road. Bypass a hail bailing tractor. Endure the sight of a snake and a brood of dear. However, my favorite moment was when "App-om-a-tax" the Black bear came into our path. With clips from "Friends" as our soundtrack, maybe 100 ft in front of us appears a large wolf...wait, wait, wait...that's no wolf.
What.the.dump?
It was a bear. A very large bear.
And Sarah's response was to stop the car. My reaction to her reaction was to tell her to keep moving and do so with haste. It was a great moment in our trip and shall be a grand memory.
To quote Sarah, "If it was God's will for us to see a bear, praise God we were in the car!"
Amen.

Fact: when I feel like I do not have much to say, I often feel as if I have said too much.
But anyway, the Davidson campus is beautiful and inviting and makes me long for my college days again. Oh, sweet sweet memories :)The drive to and fro was nothing short of adventurous.
