I've got a pain in my...

Like I said. My butt hurts.

There’s a lot more I could say right now, but I’ll save that for next time. Let me just say that the Revolution Conference is great! I’m meeting some really great people and having an awesome time hanging out with D.G.!

And speaking of D.G., check out his blog for some pictures and other stuff about what we did.

Revolution, here we come!!

Just got off the phone with D.G. to finalize our travel plans for tomorrow morning. He'll be at my place to pick me up at 6:30 a.m. (woo-hoo! and I still have to pack!). And then we're off to Seattle for the Revolution Conference!

I'm really excited about this trip several reasons:

• I get to hang out with D.G. for four days!
• I've never been to Seattle, so that'll be fun!
• I get to meet a bunch of other ministry creatives!
• I get to see fish-throwing!
• I get to see the place that has changed the face of a generation--the original Starbucks!

Next time I post I'll be in Seattle!
