I just returned from Louisiana College in Alexandria, LA. Yesterday, I did a pre-conference seminar on Come Back Churches. Then, I preached to the annual evangelism conference last night and this morning. They are still meeting, but I headed home to be with my family.
It was good to meet some new people and visit with some old friends.
It was particularly nice to spend some time with Eric Geiger. Eric is, according to Thom Rainer, the brains behind the book Simple Church. He is also fun to be with so he has no sense of driving direction at all (long story, but he got us lost).
Two fun moments with Eric:
1. When we discovered we were preaching from the same text. (We still used the same text, but I altered my message a bit so he could drill in on his theme... which I am sure he did exceedingly well.)
2. When he told me his mom was watching over the Internet and "texted" him that she liked my sermon. (Hopefully she also liked Eric's sermon.)
For the record: My mom has never watched my sermon on the Internet and she does not know how to text. And, I don't think she reads the blog, either.
Sigh.
