…for better, for worse, in sickness and in health…You would have loved them. We took extra time out of our vacation to go see centuri0n, and we spent an extra day just so we could meet Gummby and his wife…The Lord in His grace gave us the time and resources to be able to go on a blogger tour (the first of more, we hope, look out Canadians!)…
We took a lot of photos, had a great time, and couldn’t wait to come back to share it all with our friends in the blogosphere. It was important to me. We know how all of you have awaited this patiently…So let me tell you….
The pictures were so cool. Frank (centuri0n) doesn’t look like he does in his avatar picture. He was wonderful to be around, and he even shed his shirt for one of the photos, revealing a “Superman” logo underneath, complete with hilarious posing and such. It would have had you laughing out loud, I guarantee.
The conversation was incredible. Matt (Gummby) and his wife sure know their theology, and we engaged them in dialog there at TGIF Friday’s for nearly three hours. They were so kind to take time out to see us, what, with it supposed to be Gummby’s birthday celebration and all. They had hired a babysitter so that they could go out and enjoy some time together, alone, but Matt was all about meeting bloggers of like precious faith. It was an inspiring time, and the pictures we took would have reminded me and all of you of the blessings God has given us in fellowship, and of how this media and the people I have met through it have sharpened, strengthened, and supported me.
But the most important thing about the whole ScumBlogCon with cent, and the wonderful time with Matt and his wife was that I got to share all of that with Margie, my wife. She got to see first hand the people I am dealing with in the blogosphere. It meant a lot to me that we could even do it. But there was a problem. You see, Margie just told me that she overexposed all the pictures, and we lost them all. So even though we had such a good time, we cannot share it as much as we wanted with all of you.
You would have loved the pictures…a lot…
But not as much as I love my wife…
It is all good, baby…

And this is why I believe people need to convert to digital cameras.

Of course I agree...we just haven't yet because we don't normally take any pictures at all, others do for us, but perhaps now we have sufficient motivation...
That was a blessing to read. Especially the end of it. A blessing indeed.
I wish I were that nice. So does my wife.
There was a ScumBlogCon? And I missed it? Oh well maybe next year...
I would love to meet Frank....Is he (in person) really the genius he seems to be?
Rick
Yeah, he is pretty much "on it", Rick...
Thanks for the link, Kevin, ScumBlogCon II, 2007, in Siloam Springs, AK, Kingdom Bound Bookstore, November, Black Friday...be there!
Fear not, my friend. There's a couple of pics here.
Thanks again; it was great. And congrats to the Gators--they earned it.
Rick: Frank is the real thing. Even more fun in person.
Kevin: This year was a last minute thing, basically spur-of-the-moment; mostly a reaction to GodBlogCon. In fact, I couldn't make it either. But next year, I think we're gonna try to do it for real.
Bless you, friend...
Sounds like it was fun and profitable. Some day we will do a florida tour. And an Arkansas tour. And an Alberta tour. And and and...
I can't believe you lost the Pics.
you're fired.
BTW, Rick:
Some people can't even look me in the eye because they can't stand to see what's in there.
That doesn't mean I'm smart: it means some people are weak. Fie upon them, and God's grace to them.
Sorry, boss, can't I make it up to you?...
Frank,
Call it whatever you like...grace, intellect, being smart, ect. I only know one thing.....ever since I've been coming to the blogsphere I've met a few people who have made Romans 11:13 come alive for me. You just happen to be the one I've identified with most. Keep up the God work brother.
Rick
