We're in Grand Rapids Michigan, seeing some very close family friends for the week. My friend is a carpenter and yesterday I traveled with him up to Pentwater MI right on the shore of Lake Michigan. He worked. I wandered around a very lazy town that supposedly buzzes during the summer. I believe it.
I sat here for a good chunk of the day yesterdeay, sipping coffee, listening to my iPod, and reading a bit. Overall, a very satisfying day.
This morning I met the sheriff, the coffee shop owner, and 5 regulars over coffee and a cinnamon roll. I don't think I've ever had an experience quite so quintessentially small town.
They were both warm and welcoming and very curious (in both senses of that word). We had a good talk about pastoring, evangelism, California, diversity, and a few more things beside.
Good times.
