NPC Day one

by Mark on February 27, 2008

I arrived today at the National Pastors Convention. I’m doing some work with YS providing consulting for pastors who are looking for support with their youth pastors or youth ministries.

A couple things on my mind.

The Big Girl Bed
First, Mikayla is in a big girl bed. Tonight is her third night in it. I’ve put her to bed the past two nights.
Night #1 I put her back in bed 94 times. Supernanny eat your heart out.
Night #2 I put her back in bed 21 times.
Tonight… Pam gets to put her to bed. Pam has a bad back, so I’m praying it goes well.

My Right Knee
My right knee hurts. I’ve agitated my hammy and it makes my knee ache. Advil is my friend.

Sun
The weather here is great.

Friends
I’ve run into several friends this evening. I’m rooming with my friend Scott Kail. I’ve run into Kyle Meador, Shelley and Doug Pagitt, DAn Kimball, John Raymond, John Frye, Tic Long and several other YS staffers.
