Opening Day at CCC Conference

Tuesday was a lazy day getting settled in, finding our way around Colorado State University (CSU), hooking up with FamilyLife friends, and seeing Josh Geppelt in Denver at a Starbucks (where else?).

The conference started last night with a carnival for fun, & fellowship, where missionary folks, who only see each other every two years here, could re-unite. Amy finally got to do something she enjoyed and got me on one of the 'spinning' rides, which I survived just fine. Amy & I got to take 3 little kids with us whose parents didn't want to get sick on the ride! Charlotte got to go the second time with Amy since I was feeling a head- ache coming on (good excuse). They had burgers, corn dogs, and all the other 'stuff' to go with them, but it took 3 hours to get one! The line was forever long at 6p, so we waited until about 9p to get in line to eat. It only took 10 min. that way. We saw the rest of our FamilyLife friends and met many new ones we knew only through Twitter and Facebook.

Today starts the first general session with Tim Keller (a pastor in Manhattan), Praise & Worship, and time in the Word. We have a full slate of sessions to choose from this afternoon, while Amy spends the day at Elich Gardens (Six Flags). Many of the adults were trying to get Amy to trade places with them for the day!

Kristi heads to Guatemala on a mission trip today. Pray for safety and a good time of ministry for her.

More tomorrow ...
