We saw Desmond Tutu

A few of us had a tough decision last night to stay at the assembly or go to the Tacoma Dome and hear Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak at a "Be The Spark" event.

I met up with two of my three daughters and we had a night we'll never forget. The famed peace leader who was instrumental in breaking the back of apartheid in South Africa inspired the young crowd. There were plenty of old folks, too.

The peace leader chose three Bible stories of inspiration — Moses leading the people out of Egypt, Mary being told her son would be the Savior, and the feeding of 5,000 — to challenge his listeners. There were many tears.

Here's the Tacoma News Tribune story this morning:
