I’m on a break of sorts from the normal blogging scene. Yesterday, 6 of our church leaders and I left Hutchinson to come to Tan-Tar-A in Osage Beach, MO for a retreat. We had a great trip and good fellowship yesterday.
We were here to be a part (of all things) of the Missouri Baptist Pastor’s Conference. My good friend, Joe Braden, was serving as President this year. He was able to bring in the men of 9 Marks for a day long seminar on “Building Healthy Churches.” This conference featured the excellent teaching of Mark Dever, Matt Schmucker and Jonathan Leeman. I thought the day was very encouraging. I bumped into a friend of mine from elemntary school (among a lot of other friends). This friend from elementary school, Scott Lamb, is liveblogging the conference.
Our retreat will continue tonight with what I hope is God-honoring conversation and reflection over supper, then a drive home tomorrow. Continue to pray for us.
