I am Here in Alabama and what a fantastic day we had. I am tired so Ill keep this short.
I rented a Toyota Highlander... Nice car. drives kinda like the Camry but lots of room and is a sweet deep blue color. I have to say that when Pamela the Blue Ford wagon Goes this may be an alternative.
We drove from Atlanta to Birmingham (to save some dough) Court and Mike wanted the local flavor so we stopped at some road side BBQ joint. A few hush puppies and some pulled pork later we were having some heartburn and on our way.
The Conference is what I thought it would be... Cool, exciting and a huge shot of mental and spiritual adrenaline! We are meeting and talking and belly bumping and Hi fiveing people like crazy. I talked with churches six times our size and others just under us. People from Colorado to Just outside of Boston. These people are so friendly and open and they ask as many questions as you do. It is truly a pier to pier learning environment.
Worship was Hot! Chris Hodges knocked it out of the park...
He shared a thought about how God has promised us the land as church planters but that doesn't Mean the land is not full of enemies and battles. He spoke of when the Israelites went into the promised land God told Joshua to take heart... there were 31 kings he had to conquer. We have to fight spiritual battles in order to take the land the Lord has promised us. It was super encouraging and focusing.
Pray for us... for safe travels and that God would speak and refresh us.
I am tired now
G-NIGHT...
