Laura and I were greeted by this very tall dude as we walked into the Convention Center in Phoenix for the start of the SBC. This is one of our favorite events of the year. We have been praying for weeks that God would use this time to give us a word from Him. As He always does, He feeds our souls so much during this spiritual fest of joy.
We were excited to meet up with some of our friends from our college days, MANY MANY years ago.
We also ran into our good friends, Scott and Elizabeth.
This is my best friend from seminary, Ben Brammer. He serves as pastor of Northwest Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. I was so exctied to find out he was there. We were able to have lunch and catch up since it has been a whole year since we have seen each other.
Every year, several of our college friends gather together for dinner one night during the convention. Here is Micah, one of my best friends from college. He was in our wedding and I was in his. We have remained very close for many years although he serves the Lord in a suburb of Kansas City. Across from him is his wife Tracy and beside her is Sarah. They were both close friends of Laura's in college. It was great to spend an hour catching up with them.
This is Scott and Rochelle. Scott was my college roommate. He serves as as pastor in Alabama.
We had a great time at the convention. The reports, messages and music were tremendous. God really spoke to us and we are excited to bring home all that we learned this year. It was so encouraging to see and hear all the great things that God is doing around the world with our friends who are serving the Lord.
