Then, today, I had the Leadership Training Session for the churches that will be involved in the Youth United rallies. I found out about this yesterday - I thought it was in two weeks. So I spent a major part of the day yesterday working on this material and I was worried the presentation might suffer as a result. I can only give you my perspective, but I thought things went well. I probably talked for close to 3 and a half hours this morning and afternoon, so I'm pretty shot energy wise, but things went well. I said what I wanted to say and I think people were receptive. I think people learned about leadership and Bible study and we were able to get some details hammered out for the rallies.
