Random Things from SHIFT Conference....

Here are some cool things from SHIFT Conference:
  • Got to see Wes Wilson, Program Director for Elevate, Jr. High Ministry at Willow Creek. I met Wes at NYWC in Charlotte this past December. Awesome Guy. Look forward to hanging out with him tomorrow.
  • Got to meet Jason Raitz, Groups Life Pastor for Elevate, Jr. High Ministry at Willow Creek. Jason and I meet in BLOGWORLD. He is very down to earth. It was great to meet him face to face after reading his blog, post on forums, and emailing back and forth. I look forward to hanging out with him and others tomorrow night for dinner.
  • Got to hear Dr. Henry Cloud, author of Integrity, teach at Willow's New Community Service.
  • SHOUT OUT: Willow's Association has done an AWESOME job putting together this conference. They have paid attention to the details!
Time to go to bed...although it has been an awesome day of learning...I am tired. Conferences tend to drain you...well, at least I get drained! PEACE!
