As many of you know, I am away with my wife in Schaumburg, Illinois as she attends the TRUE WOMAN CONFERENCE. I came for two reasons...one, to be with my wife...especially since she is about 6 weeks away from delivery of our 3rd child. Also, because I am volunteering today to help serve the lunch to over 6,000 women. I attend conferences every year - usually pastor's conferences - and I am always on the receiving end of such gracious servants, and usually it is women who are serving us. Even in my own church, this is typically the case. So, I took advantage of this opportunity to be on the other end. The Lord knows that I am a "prideful" man and it is good for me to intentionally put myself in positions of humility and servanthood. Because Jesus said that the ones who are really "great" are those who serve! So while I serve today, I will be thinking about the many who I know personally who "serve" day in and day out to be a blessing to others and often go unnoticed! You know who you are and I thank you for your example to me and to so many others...especially to the many children who watch your example.
One last thing...I considered blogging about the conference....but then I found out that Tim Challies is already doing it. There is no way I could compete with him...so if your interested, go to his website to read up on the conference.
