why you shouldn't taunt your spouse!

greetings from the NYWC in anaheim!
a great place to be anytime of year, but really nice when it's in the upper 70's and sunny.
had a fun lunch with some great presbyterians, andrew seely (my guardian angel), liz and john
how i've missed fast food terriaki chicken!
followed by an
amazing opening session on friday with kenda. teaching 2000 folks experientially!
my new heroine.
kendall payne preached to me through her music and story before kenda even got started.
dinner friday night...girls night out with jeannie, mindy, jamie, and my new friend and editor roni and her beautiful baby girl adrianna.

yesterday started out great.
picked up breakfast at the hotel take away and went out by the pool to eat before going over
to set up for my workshop (it takes about 3hours to set up..2 with help...due transporting and unpacking gear and waiting for tables to be set up etc)

anyway...just thought i'd call rob and rub it in that i was sitting by the pool enjoying sunshine while he had walked the fred in 20 degree weather friday night!...

then i walked over to the hilton to check in with dan kimball, who'd had his favorite 8am slot and
he mentioned he'd lost his phone recently and had to find everyone's numbers again.
i said it was like losing one's brain...

went over to check in and get my worship gear.
and in the midst of setting up i realized i'd LOST MY CELL!

yikes! BRAIN LOSS! #2 for me this year.

prayerfully someone has found it and turned it in at the hilton, or convention center
but no luck at the sheraton where i'm staying.

so friends, neighbors, LORI, rob i am without communication.
so email
send phone numbers...
because as every good english major knows, there is no such thing as memorizing phone numbers!

running out to hear my other new hero shane claiborne. his book is very powerful. read it this summer.

if you want the play by play check out andrew seely's blog or YSMarko's. sorry no links...i've had trouble with the free wifi.  but very thankful for it !
and phone recovery prayers are always welcome.

sounds like fun times, sorry for the phone loss, i'll call you sometime later as i'm sure you are not in a need to call me this week.

glad you were blessed by kenda, she's amazing.
