• WE drove to Tucson this evening for Scot and Meagan Gillan's farewell at Grace Community Church. I think they've served that congregation for about 17 years. They're off tomorrow heading to Naperville Covenant Church in Naperville, Illinois. It was packed out tonight. They are truly appreciated and loved.

• "$356 MILLION children’s hospital in Mesa to open on Monday" -- How do they do it? The church building we constructed in Turlock was $2.3 million -- and it didn't have any state of the art x-ray or cat-scan machines. We didn't put in operating rooms, elaborate security systems, or parking garages. We did put in some nice play areas for children -- still, $365 million seems like a bargain in this context. ~ link

• OOPS! "Plane passenger accidentally activates ejector seat..." ~ link
