Last night was the first night of the Pepperdine Bible Lectures. Sarah met me up here in time for the opening night keynote. This year's opening night speaker was my good friend Tim Spivey. You can check out his blog here www.timspivey.com . He did a great job and we hope to get to spend a little time with him and Emily before they leave.
We also got to see the Goldmans last night. Chris was the one who performed out wedding ceremony (almost 5 years ago). Chris will be the keynote speaker tonight!

Donna is flying in within the hour and Sarah will pick her up and they will head over here to campus tonight. This will be Donna's first time to come to the Lectures.

I've been in and out of the office today. We have been calling a few students to offer a spot for the fall freshman class. It has been fun to hear the excitement in some of their voices. I've had to introduce 3 speakers today and then I have an admission session tonight. Should keep me on campus until close to 11:00 tonight. Then, I turn around and help lead worship at 7:30 in the morning with a 6:(something) mic check! After all the talking tonight, I hope my bass will be kickin tomorrow morning :)

Sarah is taking off the next two days and will be enjoying the Lectures with her mom.

For those in Memphis, I saw Leanne Cookingham today, as well as Phillip Cummings and Charlie Fowler.
Katie, Sarah met Mark last night and he was talking about True Lift coming out for lectures this September. I hope it happens!
