I went down to IHOP Atlanta (International House of Prayer) today with five of my students. We drove a van down, and stayed for quite a while. The House of Prayer there is very much like the one in Kansas City I used to be a part of -- they are both committed to 24/7 prayer and worship in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David, and they are "officially affiliated." It was absolutely fantastic. I spent six straight hours in the prayer room, and wished I could stay a couple more.

In other news, my martial arts instructor Forrest Griffin made it to the finals on "The Ultimate Fighter," a reality show on Spike TV showcasing up-and-coming no-holds-barred fighters. He's going to be fighting live in Vegas on Saturday for a $100,000 fighting contract with the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). I'm going over to a friend's house for a fight-party where we'll watch the match live.
