Why a Roadtrip to Grand Rapids in December? Good question. It started with this email:

Friends of NOOMA,

Some of you know that this past summer, Rob Bell traveled around the country for his Everything Is Spiritual Tour. I wanted to give you an update about the filming of it and how you can help us with the project. Although we filmed it this past July, we are filming it again to get the best possible material for an upcoming DVD. There is going to be one more night of Everything Is Spiritual here in Grand Rapids:

Friday, December 15th
Forest Hills Fine Art Center
600 Forest Hill Avenue SE
Grand Rapids, MI 49546

2 shows: 7 & 9:30 pm - Admission is free.

This is a FREE event and we want to have as many people as possible come. We are asking you to help us spread the word about this event so that we can have a full house and great film. If you missed it over the summer and were looking for a second chance, here it is. If you’ve already seen it, please come again and bring friends. If you live a little ways away and want to make the trip we would love to see you. If you are in another part of the country/world but know people here in Michigan, please encourage them to come.

Back to me now. So I'm thinking, "Hmmm. Rob Bell is teaching. Free show. Bring friends. Cool. I'm in."

So Mark Hardman, Guy Mundy and I turned the key on the Road Trip Express (um, kind of an unofficial name for the Mundy's van), and North we went.

More to come . . .
