Last night I spoke to the 2008 Mattoon High School graduates and their families/friends. It was the community Baccalaureate service held in the high school gymnasium.
Some thoughts:
1. I went 100 percent noteless. Didn't even take any with me. I mind mapped, outlined, dreamed about it, internalized everything.... then just went to the event with no notes.
It. Felt. Good.
2. The theme was Stand. I shared four stories: My Story, Daniel's Story, Tomas Borge's story, Their Story.
3. I never would have dreamed 15 years ago when I was graduating from Mattoon that God had THIS journey for me. Incredible.
4. I love Mattoon. Some people want out of this town. I want Jesus glorified IN this town.
5. Partnering and building relationships in our communities is priceless. Connect, connect, connect.
