Fight! Fight! Fight! We had a great night watching the Hawks at the second best place to watch an Iowa football game - The Other Place in downtown Overland Park. The local sports bar is home to the Greater KC Area I-Club on game days - servers in Iowa Hawkeye T-shirts, Iowa banners around the restaurant, I-O-W-A cheers and the "Fight Song" oh, and wall to wall Hawkeye fans. It is awesome. In fact, the bottomless Diet Cokes and great pizza might just make this place the best venue for an Iowa game...did I just say that?
Our buddy Aaron met up with us to watch the game. We had been at his football game earlier, watching MNU take on Benedictine. It was fun, but a bit too hot for all of us, especially Titus. We only lasted the first half. Aaron is going to have a JV game or two in which he'll actually get to play, so we'll try to get to one of those.
Ray surprised me this morning with some tickets to see Rob Bell in November. He's on a new tour called "The Gods Aren't Angry" - talking about how humans created religion to make themselves feel better. Should be thought provoking and interesting. I guess we're just trying to keep up with Iowa City who has hosted Brian McLaren this past week and will have Jim Wallis there next week. I'm so thankful to have these voices shaping the conversation of faith, politics, and philosophy. If you're not familiar with any of them, check out their links. Good stuff.
