Pastor and I are having a great time at the Shepherds' Conference in sunny Sun Valley, CA. We are extremely greatful to Lighthouse Baptist Church in Simi Valley, CA for opening up their facility for us to stay so as to help us save money on hotel costs. We really appreciate Pastor Roger and his church for their sweet hospitality. Thank you, Morning Star family, for giving us this incredible opportunity to attend this valuable conference. We are "soaking up" the teaching and preaching of the Word. We just finished this evening's session with Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is an incredible teacher and preacher of the Word.
We were a little disappointed last night because John Piper could not make it to the conference. Tragically, his father passed away in South Carolina, so he needed to be with his family. We spent some time during the service praying for him. However, we were blessed by having C. J. Mahaney as a replacement--pretty good replacement, I'd say! He was a blessing. His message was on humility, which was pretty much taken straight from his book on the same subject.
We are so blessed to have a church who gives so that we can have spiritual refreshment as well as our souls fed. Thank you all for your prayers for us this week!

Hey guys, sorry I couldn't hang out with you all this year. I had my paperwork etc in early and a scholarship approved but had to pull out. We've read through the notes and enjoyed the blogs and been blessed by them. We saw where the funeral sermon, as it is listed, for Bro Piper's father is on the Desiring God site.
Well brothers, take care, I know you will use what you've learned and been reminded of and God will get the glory from your work!
God bless you all.
