« Previous EntriesLuggage is Here!
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Finally at 6 am Wednesday morning, I received my lost luggage. Yes, the same bag that I was without for the entire National Youth Ministry Convention. This was the bag that I had last seen at 7 am on Friday morning. Welcome home.
NYMC 08: The End
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008What a great weekend!! I left on Monday morning, did not have an issue with the airline (although still no sight of luggage), and made it home safely. Here is a short recap of the weekend:
The Good: The conversations. It was great to meet new people, hang out with old friends, and [...]
NYMC 08: Sunday Evening
Monday, February 25th, 2008I did some hanging out and purchasing of resources this afternoon, and then on to the General Session. The comedy group 321 Improv did a nice job of starting off the evening with some humor, but the laughing cake goes to the Skit Guys for their great (yet powerful) skit on Prayer. Possibly the funniest [...]
NYMC 08: Sunday Morning
Monday, February 25th, 2008Great, great, great skit this morning by the Skit Guys. They used improv while telling the story of David and Goliath. By using the improv, it kept the audience very interested. This is a terrific idea to introduce a Biblical story in youth group.
I did not go to Duffy’s morning session today. [...]
NYMC 08: Saturday Evening
Sunday, February 24th, 2008Great, great evening session today. Fun times with Josh and rating Bon Jovi wannabes. I must admit, even though #3 only knew the chorus, I voted for him cause he sang great. Good worship time, the Skit Guys were funny, and then Doug.
I really enjoyed Doug Fields’ message tonight. His topic was on Caring, and [...]
NYMC 08: Saturday Afternoon
Sunday, February 24th, 2008Duffy was great this morning and even better in the afternoon. In his 2 sessions entitled “Lost on the Freeway: Developing a Vision for Ministry” we learned the desired key for any ministry: Discipleship. We also did some math and learned that ministry by addition can only get you so far, whereas ministry by multiplication [...]
NYMC 08: Saturday Morning
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008Just a quick post now, will update later. Finally got into Cincinnati this morning, although my luggage is not to be found. I was able to get to the Conference and sat in most of Duffy’s morning seminar (recap this evening). During lunch I walked around, got some necessities (deodorant, toothpaste, VitaminWater) and I found [...]
NYMC 08: Late Friday Night
Friday, February 22nd, 2008The Live SYM podcast is about to start. Very interactive, allowing people not at Cincinnati (like me ) to contribute. Great idea guys!
NYMC 08: Friday Night
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Welcome to the National Youth Ministry Convention: Philly Edition. Since I am not in Cincinnati right now, I have decided to host my own convention right here in Room 513. I will be listening to older Simply Youth Ministry Podcast episodes, reading Speaking to Teenagers, and pretending like I am hearing Tony Dungy. [...]
Some Things Stay the Same…
Friday, February 22nd, 2008like canceled flights, same hotel, and no luggage.
As posted before, I was delayed in going to the National Youth Ministry Conference by hours, with a scheduled departure of 10 pm tonight. Well, that was canceled as well. My flight will now take off at 7:30 tomorrow morning, which means I am spending the [...]
