This is a shameless plug for the best new conference of 2008 – the first annual Christian Juggling Conference. The Christian Juggler’s Association has been around since the mid-90’s and I believe that a conference has long been a desire of the leadership. Now, we get to see that desire come to fruition with this great opportunity for learning and networking coming this July. The dates are July 11th-13th and the conference will be held at Vineyard Community Church in Lexington, Kentucky. The exciting thing is that the International Juggler’s Festival is being held in Lexington, Kentucky the following week. So jugglers can attend both events if they like, since they are back-to-back. David Cain, the Juggler 4 Jesus, is the keynote presenter. There will also be open gym time, workshops, and an opportunity for real-live ministry in local churches on Sunday morning. This is so exciting! For all the details, click here. I’ll see you there.

Children’s Sermon: Ezekiel’s Vision
One Sunday last month, I taught the children’s sermon. In our church, the children are with the adults for the first half of the Sunday morning worship. Then they come to the front for a blessing and/or children’s sermon before being dismissed for a separate teaching time during the adult sermon. I have found that…
