New Year

Ah yes, another Company Convention. Complete with talks, PT and even Beastie Boys Bachelor Party (and Manchos); in short, delightful. The 26 guys spent Dec 31-Jan 3 together, one of our longest Conventions to date, we helped with the Bachelor Party, Rehearsal Dinner and Reception for one of the founding members of the Company, Sean Connelly.

JT shared about the early days in Campus Fellowship when Sean first brought the Revolution after reading Kerry Koller's Revolution Talk. He said it really hit himself and a few others still with us and even in the room. Sean's commitment to recruitment yielded much of the people leading citybuilding today, who in turn recruited most everyone else. It became clear to me Sean Connelly is to be held responsible for this Revolution, Praise GOD.

To all Company guys: our water heater exploded the day we got back to Indy and John and I were totally "on call" to get the job done. We rigged up a funnel and old piece of tubing I use for cars and tied with some yarn we borrowed to the pressure release valve seen above spewing water into a tupperware. Between hauling the tupperware out the basement as it filled up, John and I shoveled pooling water into cleaning buckets using dust pans. Total clean up time: 30 min.
