Today is the second day of the Orange conference here in Atlanta.
I’m going to be honest… I’m conferenced out.
I’ve heard so much great stuff these last few months. I’ve filled notebooks and blog pages with ideas, strategies, illustrations, sermon ideas, etc. I’m ready to “get on the ground” in Cincinnati and start pouring out what [...]

I’m back home now. It’s so good to get back to all of my ladies!
The conference was good but probably highlight of this conference was all of the networking that I had the opportunity to do. It was great to connect with new friends and reconnect with old friends.

Tonight at dinner we discussed our high point and low point of the day.

Overflowed the toilet…
screwed up the blinds in the living room…
spilled a full glass of orange juice in the refrigerator and it ran out on the floor…
washed the baby’s hair with orange juice…

This afternoon I got a call from our real estate agent, Marla Michau.
Our house is sold.
It’s taken almost a year, but now it’s sold.
There were two signed purchase agreements that fell through, but now it’s sold (on the third try).
