Today is Tuesday night and the YS conference is in a few days. I'm looking forward to going and spending a few days getting motivated, spiritually refreshed, educated, and to bond with our team. It's always a great time. I'm looking forward to worshiping with Desperation Band. I've heard a lot of good things about them, but I haven't actually seen them play live. Crowder is of course a highlight.
We are pumped for Josh's brother, Mark Matlock, to be a General Session speaker. It should be cool. I have requested a "shout out" from stage, but it's kind of a big deal to speak at this thing so I doubt we will get it.
Phil Vischer, Veggie Tales creator, will be speaking as well as some of the standards like Marko and Doug Fields.
The other thing I love about YS is just hanging out with youth pastor friends and talking about life in ministry and share the good, bad, and ugly that we experience as pastors. It's so encouraging and motivating to be in a place with about 5,000+ other people that are doing the same thing as you. You leave with a sense that you are part of something bigger than yourself.

oh wow!!!! I'm SO excited that you get to see Phil Vischer!
rats, I wish I was going to be there... but i'll be rocking the stage with your cute little wife!
his book was SO good, have you read it?
you should, if you have time before the conference. it's about SO much more than the "fall of Veggie Tales"- it's an awesome read.
