Conference Ows

We just got back from a conference in Branson, MO. The conference was wonderful, so why the title? Those of you who know me are aware of the fact that I have PLENTY of padding on the old caboose...too much to my way of thinking, but anyway, my sitter is pretty well worn out. Three days of listening to some truly great speakers, yet the old adage still holds true...the mind can absorb only as much as the behind can endure. It wouldn't be so bad but we are leaving for another conference on Thursday and it promises to be more of the same...poor tushie!

This conference is one that the man who puts it on says is to introduce the Body of Christ to itself. We have gone 3 of the last 4 years, and it really does do what he says. We have met some amazingly gifted folks we might never have encountered without this conference. Every time I go to one of these I learn something new and am happily amazed that Jesus is still speaking to His children and teaching them about His ways. (Whew, what if He weren't?)

It's been good to be home and I know we will have fun on our next adventure...but we're going to Minnesota and it's still COLD up there. Leaving springtime in Texas is going to be a little harder this week!
