Tower

OK, this is cool. Thanks to Brad:

The Zip Feed Mill is the tallest building in Sioux Falls, and perhaps the whole state of South Dakota. A few years ago, it closed down, and has been an ugly eyesore in the middle of an ever-changing and growing city. A few months ago, vandals spray painted “Trust Jesus” on the top of the mill.

Yesterday was the day that we were going to destroy the mill and make way for a new office complex and (perhaps) rec center. The MS Society sold tickets to watch the event, and sold chances to be the guy who gets to “push the button.”

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
