Dude, you didn’t get a picture of you and the future Veep of the SBC? For shame!

The expression on your face in those top 2 pics, is priceless. I was tempted to photoshop some captions in, but I’ll leave that to Frank.
:o)
Keeping your family in prayer - I know it’s hard when dad is away. And by the way Tim, you’re doing a fantastic job live blogging this. I’m hoping you’re going to be sitting in on Phil’s seminar this morning!?

Tim,
I want to say thank you for such thorough write-ups of the conference. I have printed the sermons/presentations you have posted out for a more in-depth study. You have kept those of us who are far away, right in the mix of the event and that’s wonderful.
Thank You and God Bless You

So CJ was able to get you to crack a tiny bit more of a smile than Phil was. That’s a pretty good smile you’ve got on Phil, who usually looks serious.
Did you get any pictures of the mayhem at the book tables?

Why is it that the continuationists always seem to be happier???
Tim with Phil shows the cessationist emotion…and Tim with C.J. shows how CJ’s “charisma” can be infectious, as we see Tim crack a little more of a smile.
My guess is that one can’t help but smile bigger around C.J.

You should have gone for the in-n-out burger!

Tim Eats A Burger.
(Or was that Roast Beef?)
I have mentioned before that I admire your “GUTS” in blogging and then asking for people’s opinons. But a picture of you eating. WOW! ;-)
Thanks so much for your blogs from the conference. The only way I could have enjoyed it more would have been if I could have been there myself. Keep it coming.
Prayers are going UP!

Is the burger blocking the beaver lapel pin?

“You should have gone for the in-n-out burger!”
That is still on my list of things to do. I’ll get to it before the end of the week.

Tim,
You look like you’re scared stiff in those pics. When you get back, tape that pic of you and CJ to your dresser mirror and practice smiling! Although, you don’t have to go quite as far with it as CJ does. ;-)
Regarding that pic of CJ, all I have to say is, “Make it so, Number One.”

Great job on remembering the pictures. My husband met CJ last night, but felt weird about asking for a picture. But for you being the official blogger, it is quite natural to get a picture. BTW, my husband will be looking for you to meet you and say “hello”. (Are you meeting many bloggers at the conference? We’d like to know!) We have a little group blog of us who work with with an international parachurch, As we got together last fall, we ended up confessing to each other we were all secretly blogging. One site we all visited and liked was yours. You are having great influence.
Thanks for the updates. They are disarming and interesting.

In N Out is run by Christians. If you look closely, all their containers have a Bible verse on them. In N Out—at least the ones I’ve been in—are the cleanest fast food places I’ve ever seen, too. That speaks well of their commitment to customers.

Great blog bro - thanks for your hard work and service. I feel like I’m right there in the midst of it all! I went in 2004 and the conference was a real blessing. Ahhh….sweet memories.

I know, it’s great. I look really embarrassed and uncomfortable, neither of which was the case. I’m not entirely sure what the expression is on my face! And in the picture with Phil I look really bored, and that also wasn’t the case!

Ummmm, first of all, Tommy Burger is sick.
Second of all, Phil, CJ and Mark are great, but I’m assuming you are saving the fact that you met the infamous skh of www.tohuvabohu.org for it’s own separate post? I’m looking forward to it.

Wish I was there.
