Urban Onramps

what a day

Man, I think I remember all the things that happened today. Almost. I was on the phone constantly. When I wasn’t on the phone, I was talking to people on the ground. I booked events and confirmed things and added things to the schedule. On one day alone, Tuesday, March 27, they’ve got me doing the following in Fresno:

– speak at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast
– speak to a gathering of pastors
– speak to No Name Fellowship
– speak to Hispanic pastors

All of this is slated in rapid succession, one after the other. It’s all good.

We are planning for our annual Harambee benefit on Saturday, March 3. Ya’ll come out. That means you, Tyler.

I talked to folks who are organizing a gathering of Black evangelicals. I’m trying to get myself invited…

There is a plan in the works to get me to speak at a sizable venue at one of my old colleges. We’ll see if that materializes.

Other speaking engagements popped up, too. January was silent on that front, up until this week, the last week of the month. Then all of a sudden - BOOM.

We’ve also got a bunch of groups coming on weekends and in the summer. I should say “threatening” to come, cuz the ink is not all the way dry on stuff. I say “threatening” with tongue-in-cheek and much love…

I’ve also moved my primary email and personal calendaring to an online source, Google, so now I’ve got a leg up on Jordon Cooper…

Tomorrow we’ve got a meeting of Hispanic leaders in Pasadena to talk about greeting the incoming Superintendent.

Plus we are organizing a February 21 open forum for District One City Council Candidates. I live/Harambee is in Pasadena’s District One, and the 12-year incumbent (Joyce Streator, God bless her) is not up for re-election.

Ok, now I’m hungry…. Dinner time is soon.

Here’s Micah:
