D6 Conference—the best value today!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

“I could have left after the first day and felt I had gotten my money’s worth.”

“This is a significant day in the history of the church.”

Today is the deadline for the very best rate you can get for the D6 Conference 2010. Save half your registration per person against the walk-in rate. It is $299 at the door and today you can register as many as you desire for $149 per person. If you do not have all the names now, no problem; just hold their spots and fill in the names later. Set a goal and determine you want ten sets of parents with you or all your leading volunteers and staff. We already have announced several major speakers for next year and will finish the announcements in January of 2010. Mark Holmen, Ed Stetzer, Brian Haynes, and Rob Reinow, and yes, Tim Hawkins will be back!

Human – I am not God.

Francis Chan is the one speaker I most wanted to hear at Catalyst this year. His book Crazy Love is a must read if you are one of the few who missed it. That book reminds me a lot of C. S. Lewis’ writings with is same hard hitting language and depth that probes to the heart of the matter. Randall House exhibits each year at this conference and this year we have our D6 curriculum and D6 Conference on display.

Tonight at Catalyst, Francis Chan stood before about 10,000 people in his unassuming manner, and talked about the cross and Christ.

Does American Express bring you a smile?

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Earlier this year, American Express became an ordinary credit card. Worse than ordinary, they have become an overpriced hassle! I rarely take an organization to task in my blog, but they have ceased to be impressive. Their new slogan should be “Hope you don’t get left stranded.” On a more than one occasion, I have landed in another city, went to get my rental car only to find my card would not work. I have heard every excuse from them from security or fraud checks, to over the limits. Over the limit? This was the card without limits. Because they do not keep their history beyond six months, then they cannot see our years of experience with big events and solid payment records.
