Two years and counting…
Again this year at the Exponential Conference in Orlando, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed, time and again, with this deep feeling of gratitude.It was 2 years ago, at this conference, late on a Wednesday night, that one fateful conversation with Jon & Dave Ferguson, Pat Masek, Tammy Melchien, and about 15-20 others who wandered by our table, led to the birth of Crossings. We are forever grateful for the opportunity, the constant encouragement and support… I can’t wait to see what God does next…
By the way, the conference ended well…Tim Keller’s teaching was so very good, and the last session involved a ‘commissioning’ of those feeling called to be involved with church planting.
It also involved Rick Warren doing a “Raffiki from Lion King impression” that I’m still not sure I understand……and, for those of you concerned for my loss, I found my Gumputter Disc the next day at the course…whew. Evidently the alligators spit it back up on shore. (I think that means I must now take it to Ninevah and call people to repent…)

said... amazing message yesterday, man.
we can think what we want about airtran, technical issues, plans changing, lack of artistic elements, and whatever else .... and i'm not one to suggest the direct hand of God in something lightly .... but I almost wonder if that's exactly what He wanted to happen.
it was almost like having leadership community on a Sunday morning, and i think it connected with so many people in a powerful way. i feel bad that Bill had to go through what he did, but it's quite possibly just what needed to happen.
