Not of our own ability - day two summary

Day two of the conference is now done, the activities officially concluded in my mind now that I have entered all twenty books into my digital library via Delicious Monster. I don’t like to cut these posts short, but as it is midweek of the conference and I want to be rested for the [...]

The Fire-hose Exploded

Day one of the Shepherd’s Conference is concluded. On our road trip down, Chuck made a comment to the effect of “getting ready to drink from the firehose.” Right now I feel like I am floating (face up, by God’s grace) in the flooded streets after the dam has burst. The preparation [...]

Posted by admin On March - 2 - 20093 COMMENTS

I an sure that all ten readers of the TBYM blog are aware that I will be departing with two other staffers and one student for the twenty-two hour drive to sunny Van Nuys for the 2009 Shepherd’s Conference. Once down there we will be joined by three other staffers bringing the one28 representation to a total of seven. What you may not know (and more than likely “CARE”) about is why I enjoy shepherd’s conference so much. Shepherd’s Conference is, very plainly, a conference... more
