It’s hard to believe that I’ve been here a week. I really don’t want this blog to become a travel-log…but I want to share what’s on my heart and I’ve been here since last Wednesday so I’ve been thinking about this a lot.
Resolutions: We presented our resolutions today and they were well-received by the “messengers” (SBC calls them messengers and not delegates). The Resolutions are online and you can read them in their entirety—and, I’d recommend you do that and not just read the summaries that will be given in some news outlets! Here they are:

GCR: It seemed that the focus of the SBC was the call for a “Great Commission Resurgence.” You can see (and sign) the guiding document at http://www.greatcommissionresurgence.com This document has helped to focus a movement that is issuing a call to Southern Baptists.
The convention is over now and we all head out in the morning (finally)! While we travel, join us in praying for our Sr. High Choir (Vertical Generation). They are in Baltimore this week supporting Aaron & Malita Pankey and their church-planting efforts. Why not stop and pray for them right now?
