Curtis and fleas

Last Tuesday Curtis Martin (our Founder and President) was in NYC for a brief development visit, so Father Dan invited him to come give a talk at Columbia.  And of course, he agreed.

Me, Justin, Curtis, and Leah

It was a great chance to share more with our students about why and how FOCUS works.  He shared our model with the students and asked them what they wanted to see happen at Columbia.  He challenged them to see the campus through the eyes of Christ and talked about what it really means to know God.  It was great!  It got the students thinking.

Yesterday, I got to spend some quality time with two students as we explored the HUGE two story parking-garage-turned-flea-market just a couple blocks from my apartment.  There was some pretty neat and random stuff, but it seems one can never escape New York prices!

That's all for now, folks.  Happy Monday!
