On Broadway

Summer and I hopped a train to New York City. When we came out of Penn Station the first thing she did was look straight up at all of the skyscrapers! I love the sights, sounds, and energy of NYC. We checked into our hotel; got tickets for Mary Poppins; and then jumped on a bike cab or pedicab and ate at one of my favroite restaurants--Carnegie Deli.

Then we went to the New Amsterdam Theater and saw Mary Poppins. What a great show! And we had a balcony box which was so cool--we had the whole box to ourselves! Definitely a father/daughter moment. I don't think either of us will ever forget our first Broadway play! Magical.

Another weekend another life goal.

I just want to say I admire your approach to life...extremely inspirational. My daughter is 6 months old and I can't wait for our first trip to NYC.

-Go Cuse! ;)

I am assuming the life goal wasn't about Mary Poppins?

Cool! My friend Matt Loehr plays Northbrook and understudies Bert in Mary Poppins! I love the tap dance around the proscenium during "Step In Time."

Kyle,

That made me laugh :) The life goal was taking Summer to a Broadway play.

Mark: It was great to meet you in NYC this past Saturday. I had not heard about your wonderful story of grace in planting a church in the DC area. (I was the MC of the event with the suit and tie). I am looking forward to reading your book. May the Lord bless you richly.
