finally! i a pilgrim site visited! i made to zondervan. i had a great lunch with john raymond today and saw the inner workings of mecca...john was nice enough to give me the tour and now i really feel like an author!
the big z has an amazing building with a cafe, workout center and the most amazing warehouse where all those books are shipped safely to our favorite bookstores. it is a maze of personalized cubicles but i'm glad john has one with a great view! have a blast on spring break john and thanks again for lunch!
i also got to hang out with my other favorite zondervan friend, jamie hinojosa! jamie does all the marketing for youth specialties books and we had way too much fun during the conventions this past fall! jamie always inspires and encourages me so it was great to see her in her natural "work"habitat and interrupt her lunch for awhile! thanks for the new books too!
i am now inspired to get writing...(one of the main objectives of coming up to michigan for the break btw)
the deadline is now in stone and dan has just about finished with his other two, so we can get on with ours on experiential worship (which the world and marko have been waiting on forever!)
i can just picture a box full of books traveling down the long conveyor belt sometime in 07!
tomorrow's pilgrimage: ann arbor and the university of michigan...a college tour for capt.mac!
OMG!!! you're actually going to write that book?!?!?! didn't we start talking about it in about 1986?
have fun at UofM -- my entire fam graduated from there except me. both parents grew up in AA, and my sis still lives there. i have maize & blue blood.
