And we're off again...

We'll be leaving tomorrow for Tipp City, Ohio. Destination is Ginghamsburg Church - a large "teaching church" that has inspired and trained many people in our own congregation in Mabank. One of my favorite weekly podcasts is the pastor of this church, Mike Slaughter. He is unconventional, especially compared to my Baptist upbringing... and it's quite refreshing. (No offense, mom and dad!) Rick and I attended the same conference last year, and are excited to be returning to the "Change the World" Conference for a second time. Check it out at: http://ginghamsburg.org/changetheworld A year ago at this conference, God began working in our lives to to cut back on the frivolous lifestyle we were living. Our focus is changing to be more of a servant mindset, as Christ lived the example for us all. This is the place where God started working on us to eliminate debt in our life and simplify our lifestyle. (At the time, we didn't know it would involve selling our house so that we could live mortgage free in a 100+ year old farmhouse.) And so we head back to Ginghamsburg - fully expecting to learn some new things and return with new ideas that we can implement in our own church. We'll get to know some other church members and fellow servants on this trip, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us! I'll upload some pictures of the conference while I'm gone with my handy-dandy remote upload method! TTFN! or for those NON Winnie the Pooh fans, that's Ta-Ta-For-Now....
