BRAIN DEAD IN CALIFORNIA

It's the end of Day Two and we've completed the Purpose Driven Church segment of this conference. Tonight the church is having their version of our worship and communion night that we call 4HIM - I guess the only difference is they'll do theirs with a minimum of 3,000 people there! But then they've been at this for 26 years now.

Meanwhile I'm sitting in my hotel room typing this instead. Definitely AWOL. I think I'm on information overload. There is so much good teaching in the PDC Conference that I think I've reached saturation point.

This year there was no real lunch break even, as most of us grabbed a lunch pack and ate while listening to one of a number of workshops on offer. Definitely too much information to take in over a period of less than 36 hours!

The second half of the conference starts tomorrow - a two day seminar on preaching called Preaching For Life Change. I have been preaching for 43 years now and have probably learned a thing or two during that time, but I'm still open to hear anything I can to improve my communication skills.

What we do on Sundays is so vitally important that it's essential for us to give it all we've got. Everyone else does such a great job of pulling a service together that I don't want any guest going out thinking the preaching stunk.

So I'm looking forward to hearing what RW has to say - if my brain can really take it in!!!
