MEMORIES: “Don’t Tell Your Mom I Brought You Here”
Kelly and I had been married for less than a year. We had just moved to Chicago to start a church. I stopped by a public housing project to visit a guy I had met shortly after moving to Chicago. After walking into this guy’s apartment with my wife, I looked at Kelly and said, “Don’t tell your mom I brought you here.”
We both just had a good laugh about that tonight after watching “Gangland” on the History Channel. The show was partly about that housing project, Cabrini Green. Ah, yes…memories.
The lesson learned? If you’re a church planter, your wife has to be crazy enough to follow you anywhere…and you have to be smart enough not to do anything too terribly stupid.

That’s funny. I was talking to my wife just yesterday about how great Chicago is in the summer. It is amazing how you we can forget the seedier side of town so easily. Except for Terre Haute Indiana…I don’t remember a good side to that town.
