I had gotten the day off because of our 6 month (and I really just wanted the day OFF) and since Matt was going to the convention thingy, I just signed myself up with him. [Only I really didn&#8217;t sign up literally&#8230; it&#8217;s a form of speech&#8230; yeah.] So out to <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\">Cedarville<\/span> we went, Matt, Rodger and myself. It was fun to sit in the car and hear the two men talk about God and the church. It&#8217;s so easy to see in moments like those how strong of a friendship this <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\">father<\/span> and son have made throughout the years. It was a blessing.<\/p>\n<p>So at the convention we <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">syphoned<\/span> into the main auditorium during the official welcome from some guy with many initials and importance attached to his title. We heard 1.5 speakers and 1.5 preachers. (I distinguish the two merely on an opinion basis of the passion, deliverance, and focus of the three messengers.) And then the ride home from <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\">Cedarville<\/span> consisted of another passionate conversation <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\">regarding<\/span> evangelism, Christ-<span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\">centeredness<\/span>, and a rounded Christ-focused lifestyle. Again, I was thrilled to be in the midst of scriptural reference, God-honoring opinions and fellow brothers in Christ who are striving to give their full minds to the Lord. I can&#8217;t tell you how long it&#8217;s been since I&#8217;ve participated (as tiny of a participation as I did) in an <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\">intelligent<\/span>, <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\">analytical<\/span> conversation regarding Christians applying their minds to God&#8217;s mystery.<\/p>\n<p>I forgot how much it excites me to be in the midst of such conversation, and yet remain merely a listener in so much of the conversation. It was GREAT!<\/p>\n<p>And then Matt and I went out to <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_9\">dinner<\/span> to celebrate our 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>I could not have picked a more awesome anniversary &#8211; convention and all.<\/p>\n<p>Question: Do you find yourself intimidated or energized by Christ-centered conversation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday, Matt and I went to a convention at Cedarville.
