Passion 2010 in Atlanta... if you were not there... well... you should have been! What a great spiritual retreat in a great American city. 20,000+ college students and leaders collectively lifting their hearts and eyes to Jesus! That is a powerful thing!!
I am still trying to process all the information I heard preached to really get a full grip on the impact the weekend had on me and what I am supposed to do with it all, but here are a few quotes worth sharing...
