2007 Az Uniting Church and Family Conference

More thanks to all who helped and prayed for the conference. The fellowship was fun, what the speakers communicated was all out of proportion to the size of the event. They all did a great job bringing the Word, I think those of us already on this path recieved a sharper, clearer vision and as a side bonus closer unity between Legacy and Heritage. Just to have some of the men working together from the two fellowships was most profitable.

Scott Brown did a great job giving a clear picture of what it's all about! All of the talks he did were great. I'm Glad he changed his message topic for this morning as I think it was very helpful for us men.

There is no mistaking the love Don Hart has for The bride of Christ, that it would function as God has intended. Gotta love those cowboy boots with the business suit.

Kevin Swanson is just industrial strength, what can you say. Whether in front of thousands or a hundred of us, he just leaves it all on the table and God is using him in a special way right now. That was a Martin Luther number he layed down on Saturday. Seismic. I had chills. For those who were there, you saw God bring a "95 thesis" message to the modern church. And like at Wittenburg it wasn't witnessed by many when Luther nailed his message to the church door. But when the finger of God touchs the water the ripples can sometimes be all out of proportion to the first little splash. That was the first time Kevin has given the "Pragmatic Church" message. God just nails the untrusting hearts of ours, how we are just driven to second guess God in order to keep the Arc from hitting the ground. We don't Love his Law. We don't behave like sons and daughters.

Scott was wanting to contact Doug Phillips today about the importance of getting that message available for distribution. I have noted how it's good to have your seatbelt on when you hear some messages. Sometimes you might even feel like the drivers airbag went off. Saturday morning I thought that the car had rolled, multiple times. Can we change the name of our Church to Repenting Legacy......Reforming Legacy....whoa unto us if the modern church refuses this warning and call to turn back to our Father.

Our guests enjoyed the Gaslight Inn. They had sweet times of fellowship together each morning, that was enjoyed by all, relaxing, nice ambiance. Don Hart expressed the pleasure of something so different from the normal hotel experience.

Firday night Don said they were surprised to have the place buzzing with music. But that he immediately fell asleep when his head hit the pillow. Seven talks made for a full day. I crashed hard my self.

Now no one could have seen that the little German restaurant next door would have closed off the alley and be in full October-fest mode Saturday night. There must of been a hundred tables, lots of beer and a band right next door to Scott and David Brown's room. Ay yi yi. Scott said David fell right to sleep. But that even after getting earplugs it didn't seem to make a difference on the volume level to him. God bless him.
