It is 3:15 PM as I write this, which means that the conference will begin in a little less than three hours. I will meet the tech guys at 5:00 to tell them what I need set up for the sessions. Annis, Shirley, Dudley, and Debbie arrived around 11:50 AM, we had lunch at the local Cheesecake Factory, and then made our way to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

To put it mildly, I am excited. I am confident that He will be present and He will not be silent! I am trying hard to be calm, but it is difficult. In my mind, there is no doubt that I was born to teach the gospel. When I know I am going to have a room filled with hungry people, well, nothing compares.

My dear friend, Lynn, has already had me teach four Bible studies this week: one for men and three for women. She has a flock of women who truly love and trust her. The ministry God has entrusted to her is quite remarkable. I cannot explain it. You would have to be present to experience it.

Yes, it has been COLD in Louisville; however, it is around 45 today–a pleasant thing, indeed

Please remember to pray for me and for those who attend!

Grace to each of you!
