It's a Travel Day

The Ligonier Ministries 2008 National Conference kicks off later today and I’m on my way to Orlando to take it all in. Unfortunately I waited a little too late to book my flight, so I would up with a flight that necessitates leaving my home at 3:15 AM (just imagine when that means I need to wake up!). That has to be a new record for me. But, Lord willing, I should be in Florida for a lunch in the sun, even if I fall asleep face-down in my food.

You may have heard of some of the speakers for this year’s conference: Sinclair Ferguson, Steven Lawson, John MacArthur, C.J. Mahaney, R.C. Sproul and Joni Eareckson Tada. It promises to be a great weekend. I will be bringing you plenty of blog updates, though this year many of them will be over at the new Ligonier Blog to which I am a contributor. Alex Chediak will also be blogging and I look forward to working with him.

If you are unable to attend the conference, you may still wish to tune in for the live webcasts. You can find information for the webcasts right here.

I will check in again later in the day as the conference begins…

I wish I could be there. I met Sinclair once at a JEI conference. He truly is a humble servant with great zeal for our Lord and His truth.

I appreciate you blogging this conference. Am looking forward to that benefit for my soul, and becoming strengthened in my spirit for the pilgrimage.

Thanks Tim!

I’ll be looking forward to your live blogging. I had the blessing of being able to attend last year’s conference and it was wonderful!! Singing, ‘A Mighty Fortress’ with 3,000 others is a “Let’s all go to heaven right now!” experience. :-) So enjoy the time of teaching and encouragement and worship, along with the Florida sun!
