South Bend, Indiana and the Fighting Irish

The Indescribable Tour is still in the great Midwest (well, upper Midwest) tonight, hanging out for the day in lovely and freezing South Bend, Indiana. In case you missed it, SB is home to Notre Dame University, a collegiate icon in America (and the world) and possibly the most renowned Catholic University on the planet. So, obviously, I've had the 10,000+ students of ND on my mind all day, especially after seeing the golden dome, the spire of the Basilica and "Touchdown Jesus" again. It's a beautiful campus with a huge history.

But in these parts, The Indescribable Tour often draws more of a Christian radio crowd than the collegiate set, so I wasn't thinking too many students would be with us tonight. But then I met Kellie/Kelly/Kellee/Kelley/Kelli (sorry, I didn't ask you how you spell your name) and her two friends in the lobby after. K (we'll shorten so I don't misspell it over and over!) asked if we (I think she meant Passion) would pray for Notre Dame. Before I could say anything she said, "I was at Passion 06. Remember when all the campuses represented scrolled by? [For those who weren't there, we showed a list of the over 1000 campuses represented at Passion 06 in the last session as we sang "How Great Is Our God" over them.] Well, I came to Nashville without a ticket and barely got in, so my school wasn't on my registration and Notre Dame didn't show up when all our schools were listed in alphabetical order. But I was there. Notre Dame was there. Will you remember to pray for our school, too?"

Well, my heart is in my throat while I'm typing this, so I think you know I told her WE WOULD DEFINITELY PRAY FOR HER AND NOTRE DAME!!! In fact, the four us us linked arms and prayed right there in the lobby, me asking that the light of Jesus would burn brightly in their hearts and spread throughout the campus.

So, I wonder who out there will join me in lifting up K and her friends at ND? It would be massively encouraging if lots of you would drop a quick post on the Blog saying "I'm with you K, and praying for ND."

Notre Dame may be a zillion miles away from you, but how cool would it be if God was glorified through a major spiritual outbreak at this bastion of religious life... and the anthem of the living Savior of the world rang out with salvation and hope from beneath the golden dome? I know that's happening in a few hearts tonight, and K and friends, we are so with you!

PS-If any other Notre Dame students were at Passion 06-something tells me yes-would you let us know!
