Last night was the reopening of the 2nd Story. It was packed! A couple of local musicians brought their instruments and played their tunes. There were people listening to music, playing games, chit-chating, catching up with 'life', and drinking their choice of beverages; I had my first 2nd Story espresso with a shot of hazelnut. Last night, this was the place to be: 'hot coffee, warm athmosphere, cool people'.

For a handful of people who casted this vision about 4 years ago, this was a dream come true. If you're one of them and you're reading this, I don't think I need to dig up memories of long hours and long nights that you've put into this. What I do want to remind you is to continue to partner with God and dream big because dreams do come true. 'Your labor is not in vain'. I wished that you could have been there last night and experienced it for yourselves. Know that as I sipped my espresso, I was thinking of you.

If you're ever in Lacrosse, WI on a Friday night stop by at the 2nd Story at the corner of State and 5th.
