Urbana 06 - Day One

2006 DEC 27 Urbana 06 is in motion in St. Louis, Misouri, which is a first time for this new location. We had a good kickoff session tonight at the Edward Jones dome where the St Louis Rams play American football. There are 22,000+ people/Christians attending from 144 countries! Pretty amazing stuff!

I have a comfortable room at the Adam's Mark Hotel with a nice view of the City Courthouse and Busch stadium. The free DSL is a nice touch!

We were instructed to form small groups (based on people we meet at our hotels) and to get together daily during our time here and pray and talk about the scripture (Ephesians) we are studying as a larger group. So I met to two guys randomly in the elevator and we asked three more people we met randomly at the late night business mixer to join our group. There are also some people here from my church in SF and others from the Bay area in the "Open for Business" track that I met at the mixer.

So far a good first day. :)
