Crossing the Minnesota State Line …or… Boy Is Iowa Boring

Chris Ridgeway | 28 Jul 2006 | 04:24

On I-35 north, hangin in the front seat of the minivan with my buddy Ty Grigg. Just passed the clap-sided Round Prairie Lutheran Church, established 1865. It’s sunk into a corn field at the edge of the interstate, small and dusty, and I wonder what this road was before it became a four lane cement monolith.

Of the 30-plus states I’ve been too, North Dakota hasn’t been one of them. But all that’s about to change. Ty and I are headed to a wedding in Valley City, ND. Nothing like late summer in the plains states.

It’s fun and worth it, though. We will have a small reunion with many of the North Dakota friends we made last summer at Colorado LT.

Meanwhile, I’m drinking something that has multiple statements Not-Evaluated-By-the-FDA. It’s a 16-ounce (“Double Size”) gold can called ROCKSTAR Energy Drink.

Bigger. Better. Faster. Stronger. ROCKSTAR is the most powerful energy drink available. Enhanced with the potent herb Milk Thistle (whoa.), ROCKSTAR is scientifically formulated to speed the recovery time of those who lead active and exhausting lifestyles-from athletes to rock stars. Enjoy this fully refreshing, lightly carbonated beverage super chilled.

About Me

Chris Ridgeway

Retro-identity idea: define yourself by magazines. Me? Wired. Paste. Atlantic Monthly. Discipleship Journal. Or this: For ten years I've worked as a leadership coach, spiritual director, and free agent missionary with Great Commission Ministries on its mission to reach the next generation--I currently serve as the national Staff Program Manager for GCM, helping train and equip church planters, campus missionaries , and other missional leaders. My area of curiosity is the impact of an information society on Christian theology, especially a doctrine of scripture. Does text messaging modify our view of the Trinity? Oh yeah, and I'm inexcusably addicted to breakfast diners. New home base: Orlando, FL. Home home: Chicago-ish.
