Our day started out with worship. We went to the worship service led by David Scherrer, aslo known as Agape. Agape is a Lutheran hip hop artist, and an amazingly inspiring speaker. The ballroom at the hotel was packed, and there were even more people standing in the back. Agape shared his unique brand of worship music with us, and a message that reminded us that listening to and following God's will can be a really a challenge. Sometimes, when God calls us to do something, we don't want to because it might make us uncomfortable, or it might be scary. We have to pray for the strength to listen to God's will our lives and to obey and go where God sends us. We enjoyed Agape so much that we are going to see if we can figure out what we need to do to bring him to Baton Rouge.
Here are some pictures from worship this morning.
After worship, we went to Cafe DuMonde for beignets. About half of the people at the Gathering had the same idea, unfortunately. It took forever to get to the front of the line, but the wait was worth it.
After that, we went to the aquarium. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from that. One of the kids had a bit too much of the heat and was feeling quite ill. I went back to the hotel with that person, while Ray went to see an IMAX movie and lunch and the Learning Center with the other kids. I'm happy to report that the sick kid made a full recovery.
I'll post the story of the Dome in the morning. It's been a long day, and I need to sleep. Interaction center and...other fun stuff await tomorrow.
