On My Way to T4G

I am on my way to Together for the Gospel. Two vans loaded down with guys from my church (and from a couple of other local churches) are currently heading down the 401 (and then I-75), hoping to arrive on time for dinner in Louisville. As I did at the last conference, I’ll be bringing blog updates your way throughout. I don’t think there is actually a Internet connection in the conference center so I may have to get a bit inventive, but I will try to update as often as possible. This year I am hoping to bring you some audio and/or video updates as well, so keep an eye out for those.
Before the conference actually begins, I am slated to be a member of the panel at the second Band of Bloggers event. I’ll serve there along with Thabiti Anyabwile, Justin Taylor, Phil Johnson and Abraham Piper. We’ll be focusing on “the gospel trust” and then enjoying a time of fellowship together.
And then, of course, the real conference will begin. Over two half days and one full day we’ll hear from Al Mohler, C.J. Mahaney, Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever, Thabiti Anyabwile, John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul and John Piper. It is going to be a packed schedule but I’m anticipating a great time of sitting under the teaching of the Word. So stay tuned here throughout the conference and I’ll try to bring updates as often as I can (and I’ll be sure to tell you all about the books and other free stuff we hope to collect there!).
If you are looking for more, here are 19 reasons Thabiti is looking forward to T4G. And, of course, you can check in with the official site to keep an eye on the schedule.
I have one prayer request. Make that two. First pray for traveling mercies for all of the 5000+ people who will be traveling to Louisville for this conference. And more personally, please pray for my family. There is still some sickness in my home. It’s not enough that I needed to stay home, but still enough that Aileen would sure appreciate having the kids just get over the bugs that are plaguing them. Your prayers would be appreciated!
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband to Aileen and a father to three young children. I worship and serve as a pastor at

Road Trip 2008, here we come! Look out Louisville.
Happy Blogger Appreciation Day! I appreciation your site and the ministry you have through your writing. Keep it up, and God bless!

I’ll pray for your wife. I’m holding the fort down as my husband travels to T4G as well.
Tim-
I am praying for my favorite sister-in-law this morning. I will call aileen today to check in. Love you!
Maryanne
I will be praying for your family and for everyone’s travels!
Travel safe, Tim. Two friends and I are leaving early tomorrow AM for Louisville. I’ll miss the BoB, but I hope to meet you some time this week, if I can find you at a time when you’re not surrounded by fans and paparazzi… :-)
The vans and your family are in my prayers! As well as the conference. May the Lord be magnified in it all.
See you tomorrow, Tim. (I’ll be the guy at the Band of Bloggers event trying to recover from the 3 hour time change and the red-eye flight from Seattle.) Oh, and I’ll be bringing my EV-DO connection with me, so let me know if you need to piggyback an Internet connection.
I am leaving from northern Michigan in a few hours, see you and others at BoB for lunch tomorrow!
I have two free tickets to Together that I won’t be able to use due to my wife going into preterm labor. See my blog post here to see more and to claim them if you will be able to use them: http://www.hantla.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=573
We would love to keep you all in prayer!
Happy Blogger Appreciation Day. Keep up the good work and keep up the book reviews. The church needs to read more. (Hence my blog’s name!) Have a great trip. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll have it out here in California? You’ve got to keep us posted about events out in this area!
Just arrived in Louisville. Can’t wait for T4G to start tomorrow. See you there.
“‘ll be bringing blog updates your way throughout.”
Just to say, the last time T4G was blogged I genuinely got goose-bumps when I read your words expressing John Piper’s sermon. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. My Pastors were there as well, and they sent me an e-mail, which really encouraged me as well.The Holy Spirit was truly working in His sovereign power at that last T4G, and I’m believing He will be doing the same this time. Hearts will be set aflame, and pastors will never be the same; for the glory of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Lord bless Tim, and especially His family, with their illness. Heal them Lord Jesus for Your Glory. Amen.
Never been a part of a blog before…looking forward to the updates and I will be praying for your wife and kids.
Thank you for giving us a taste of T4G through your blog. Looking forward to the audio and video clips you will provide. I, for one, would love to see/hear 5000 men singing/worshiping our Father! I will be praying for you and your family.
Tim, my dad’s there for the first time and was incredibly blessed by Lig Duncan’s first session. I’m looking forward to your thoughts!
