I'm sure you're beyond reading comments on posts made weeks ago, but I thought I'd add my little comment because I can!<br/><br/>I'm sorry that we missed you in Philly! We were there just before you made it, working on a campus that you missed out on. And how could you not stop by and see the Rams of West Chester University?!<br/><br/>But, we're glad you did make it to our soon-to-be fair city as we prepare to work with college students at WCU! Thanks for stopping by.<br/><br/>Oh, and just to clarify, our metro director for collegiate ministries likes to be all inclusive rather than gender limiting in the description of the city. Here's his take on Philly: The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. Just thought you'd like to know. Yo, Passion!

I'm sure that's true for Phila, ATL, and many, many, many other places. <br/><br/>The awesome news is: There's nothing that God can't do! Like, for example, my parents are now believers. "Baby believers," if you will, with lots of questions, but they get it! That, to me, is unbelievable (well, then again, I believe). <br/><br/>Oh, and by the way, here's a late "thanks" for the friendships that have "happened" through P'06... 5 volunteers of us are in touch regularly still, and I can't wait to have a mini- "reunion" in Atlanta! Except for maybe one or two of them, but I can always visit some of them on my own time:)<br/><br/>Silke<br/><br/>P.S. Dear anonymous, Passion's everywhere! That's where we went when we left Nash-Vegas! Louie, Louie, Louie… do you ever get tired of travelling?

I can’t wait for P’07 to roll around!
