I just returned on Sunday from St. Louis, Missouri where I had the privilege to attend the 5 day Christian Community Development Association's 19th annual conference (www.ccda.org). I was blessed to go because of a local ministry in town called Cup of Cool Water (www.cupofcoolwater.org) sponsored me.
Mark Terrell, is the head of a ministry that works with street youth here in Spokane. We have been friends for a number of years and have talked about going to this conference together and this year he made it happen. I am really grateful he did.
The hotel we stayed in was called The Adam Mark and is just to the right of the Arch in the photo, it's also where the conference was held. The Gateway Arch was an amazing monument to see in person. It's over 600 feet high and towers over the Mississippi and frames the downtown St. Louis area majestically. I didn't have the guts to ride inside to the top...I am just to paranoid of really small spaces for that. But the stainless steel structure is a marvel to see.
