Hey everyone! It is almost midnight on Wednesday and I am BEAT! We have been at the Duke Energy Center in downtown Cincinnati all day Tuesday and today for the North American Christian Convention. Jennifer and I bought booth space for the Michala Riggle and her BEADING TO BEAT AUTISM ministry. We also volunteered to help out in a Welcome Center today. It has been exhausting, but also wonderful. We sold almost $400 worth of bracelets on opening night and then followed that up with nearly $900 today, PRAISE THE LORD! I truly believe that we may hit $1000 tomorrow. God is blessing her ministry and we are so blessed to be a part of it.
The NACC has been a real treat. I have networked and reunited with so many brothers and sisters in Christ. We have not had opportunity to take in a workshop, but were blessed in the worship session on Tuesday evening. If you have never attended the NACC, I would strongly encourage you to plan to be in Louisville next summer and join us there.
Before I sign off, I want to say a big many thank yous. First of all, to the Pachta family for taking our kids on Tuesday and treating them to a special day. Secondly, to my mom and dad for keeping the kids overnight on Tuesday. Thirdly, to Mike and Heidi Constable for being there for our kids this evening. Here are many more... I want to say thanks ahead of time to Kayla Rose for watching our kids on Thursday. Thanks also to everyone associated with LCC who have helped out in anyway at the NACC, it is so encouraging to see so many of our church family at the convention. I want to thank Lisa Poole for taking a week away from work and being here to assist with the Beading to beat autism booth. Thanks to Emlyn and Michala for making a couple trips from Louisville to Cincy and back. Thanks to my wonderful wife for helping out, supporting and being such a wonderful helpmate. Thanks to Dan Ponchot, Didi Back and the awesome youth at LCC for being such an great witness at the convention. Thanks to Alicia and Kurt for helping us out in our booth. Finally, thanks to my awesome staff and leadership at LCC who are filling in and giving me opportunity to be out of the office all week long.
Going to bed now. Will type following the NACC! To God be the Glory! Let's "live dangerously"
B. OUT!!
