NEW ORLEANS
STEVE'S STORY:
I meet thousands of people and hear hundreds of stories every year I wish I could remember long enough to retell. Problem solved. Here's Steve, our runner, and his story:
THE SHOW:
(Pictured: The Newsboys, with eyeliner and confetti cannons) Playing in New Orleans last night was a scary thing for two reasons: 1. The best music America has ever birthed came from New Orleans and the people there can hear better music than mine any day. 2. Disaster and loss, I believe, teaches us tremendous amounts about God, ourselves and each other so New Orleans is a city that has more to teach me than I have to teach them.
(Pictured: the most important component of any festival: "the facilities") But New Orleans showed up, listened and clapped for me anyway. Thanks for your hospitality, your funnel cakes and snow cones and, Steve, thanks for telling your story.

It's so good to see that New Orleans is coming back around...I'm still getting my mind around that fact that it is rebuilding, not just somehow obliterated forever. Am I the only one guilty of thinking that way?
Glad you had a good time, Shaun. I look forward to Ikon, maybe you can share some more stories with us there, eh?
