I am leaving for the Desiring God Conference on Friday. I know I’ll be hanging with some friends from Grace, and Marc and Timmy. Anyone else going?

    No, dangit. have a great time man. I want to see a picture of you, Driscoll, and Keller. C’mon.

    You don’t know usat all, but my wife and I are going up a day early for a little R & R in downtown Minneapolis and then looking forward to a lot of thinking, learning, and worshipping over the weekend. Should be challenging, fun, and – I pray – encouraging about ministry and mission in this great context of ours. What a lineup! It’ll be a riot to see people react. All my Piper-loving friends don’t know how to take Driscoll and Keller makes them think about hand’s-on mission more than TULIP.

    Looking forward to it. We’ll be the couple without three kids in tow.

    Can I be the lucky photographer to capture Joe, Driscoll, and Keller?

    Joe, I’ll be there — if you remember, we met and hung out for a bit at the SBC in Greensboro… I’m certain that DG will be a thousand times better. Look forward to seeing you (and Timmy for the 1st time) there. Drive safe.

    I’ll be there, representin’ with three of my hipster-reformed-emergent-type friends. If I see a media frenzy surrounding Driscoll and Keller down in front, I’ll know where you’re at.

    Yo Joe, I’ll be there.
    We gotta make sure to at least meet briefly so that I can give you props or buy you a beer in appreciation for the advice you gave me in helping get my blog up and thriving.

    I’m leaving in a few hours, arriving in the afternoon. Just finishing up some late-night packing, deciding how much camera gear to bring. How much gear are you bringing? Which hotel are you in?

    JoeBruin88,

    Joe is going to purgatory in MN. And no–no indulgences allowed.

    Just kidding. From what I hear, the pope really likes Joe.

    Well, he likes me more than Ru… never mind. Thanks guys. I wish I could chat with Driscoll and Keller. I am bringing all of my gear – which is not a lot., and am staying with Timmy at a friends house. This trip has to be done on the cheap.

    Acts 29 booth?! From someone on the A29 outside and looking in, what can I expect with that?

    I don’t even know you and I think that I found you through Dustin? Maybe? Anywho I desire God and M&M’s too so we must be friends! May you grow closer to the Lord while there and I will await to read all about what He spoke to you while you were at the conference.

    Josh

    I don’t even know what to expect from it. Probably just general info and guys in the network to meet?

    Either way–say hi

    PEACE

    Guys, I need some help. I live in MN and didn’t get a chance to get tix before they sold out. Do any of you know anybody who has extras? My wife and I really want to come to a few of the sessions. Please help me out if you have any info.

    Thanks.

    Please reply to my email – brentonbalvin(at)gmail(dot).com – or else you can leave me a comment on my blog.

    Thanks again.

    Is scalping legal in MN?

    For sure.

    Actually no, but in this case I’d make an exception.
