Urbana

So I didn't have free wifi at my hotel while I was in the states so I took some notes about what happened each day to remind myself of my thoughts and events that happened. Here they are; they aren't very specific but I'm hoping to compile something better when I get home. I also wasn't able to read Acts every day  (I read chapters 1-6) since the conference was overflowing with a lot of information and lots of bible study in Luke already, so I decided not to bombard myself with too much to process and be able to have a rested and energized mind when I start reading Acts again when I get back.

I might delete this post after I finish the series of posts from my Urbana experience.
