thanks to all who have chimed in about saturday's training event for the aurora district. i've already thrown down some quick highlights and i'm working to get all the info conveyed onto the blog. the pictures are the only two pics i took of the whole trip, which is very uncharacteristic of me to not take pictures. one is of my room and the other is some of the friends that stopped by the hotel at 7am on saturday morning. it had something to do with an alarm system that was making a bunch of racket. they weren't too talkative to all of us who came out to the lobby to see them. oh well.
the worship went really well. it was one the best moments i've had in a long time. keynote lecture went well. i went off-note quite a bit which was probably best. i do better when i am just going at it. then again, that's the same time i tend to ramble. the workshop was very enjoyable we covered a lot of topics that were technical and not-so-technical. we ran it like just a q&a with me as man with the power (or microphone). that just goes to show how much can be gained by just allowing a group to share together.
here are my notes from the worship and lecture: download worship_aurora_dist.pdf
i keep forgetting to bring home my voice recorder to download the mp3 file of the actual lecture. i'll work to have them up on tuesday so check for an update then.
