The Desiring God Conference this year was titled "The Power of Words and the Wonder of God." I've started listening to the messages on my ipod and so far they've been really good and convicting. If you want to listen, you can go to the DG website. I would recommend it! We've had some good conversations at our house about the messages.
Ellie was a speaker host for the Interpreters...looks like they chose her because she looks so welcoming. In case you don't know Ellie - she really doesn't look like this normally :) She likes to laugh and smile. If you want a longer list of her positive qualities, email me.
Hanging out with some cool girls. I love them!!
Mike and Orison had lots of fun with the rubbermaid tubs. The ones that have a warning about letting kids play in them.
Aaron and Mike didn't have any push-pins or blow guns to play with like they do at the office so they were able to rest.
There were many great things about the conference, of course, but also some disappointments.
1. We didn't get to see Gabe and Julia
2. No yearly tradition of Chipotle (except for Steph)
3. No C.J. Mahaney or Josh Harris
BUT a few of the highlights!
1. Singing
2. Meeting new people
3. Seeing friends
4. Hearing Bob Kauflin and the other speakers
5. New traditions: aka. late night Cub run to get candy for the desk. We bought Reeses, M&M's, Skittles, Twizzler Nibs and Cheez-Its (the big ones). At the time, it seemed necessary but the next morning it seemed a little over the top.
6. Serving people (and being able to pray with people in the prayer room).
7. Being convicted of sin
8. And lots more...
