Summary of Winston Smith’s Plenary, ‘Groaning and Slavery’ (CCEF Conference Live Blog)
(I am writing these little summaries in between the live blog entries to let you know how Fred and I experienced the conference–and to give you just a flavor of the live blogs in case you were scared off by the 60,000 word count. 🙂 ) We were SO tired Saturday morning–that east coast time zone thing is a killer. Plus, I was happily exhausted after spending time with three of the PeaceGals moderators (and Sarah Joy’s family!) at a real-Philly-cheese-steak-yummy restaurant: (Hi Sarah Joy, Ruth, and Emily!) But of course Fred and I were so excited for the day’s sessions that we jumped right out of bed and headed…

Summary of workshop, ‘Friday Night Roundtable with CCEF Faculty’ (CCEF Conference Live Blog)
(I am writing these little summaries in between the live blog entries to let you know how Fred and I experienced the conference–and to give you just a flavor of the live blogs in case you were scared off by the 60,000 word count. 🙂 ) The last session Friday night was a roundtable discussion by CCEF Faculty of the case study about “Robbie” who has been “laid low and his family destroyed by two addictions: gambling and prescription pain meds.’ There were so many great nuggets in this session that I had a very hard time picking out just a few for you to review. Please do consider reading…

Summary of workshop, ‘Counseling Strategies for Individuals with Addictions’ by Philip G. Monroe (CCEF Conference Live Blog)
Dr. Monroe has graciously provided his powerpoints for this workshop on his blog: (http://wisecounsel.wordpress.com/) and I don’t think I have anything much to add to them from this workshop. If the topic interests you, I encourage you to consider reading at least the end of the Live Blog transcription because I did capture the Q&A he did at the very end of his workshop.

Summary of workshop, ‘This is Your Brain on Drugs’ by Dr. Mike Emlet (CCEF Conference Live Blog)
(I am writing these little summaries in between the live blog entries to let you know how Fred and I experienced the conference–and to give you just a flavor of the live blogs in case you were scared off by the 60,000 word count. 🙂 ) Back to last Friday afternoon (November 14) … Fred and I were tremendously blessed to get to meet Dr. Emlet at the devotional breakfast and I have to say that I was looking very forward to his workshop. It was more ‘technical’ than the other workshops and the plenary addresses—but I just loved it. Made me miss my cognitive psych classes (nature/nurture; brain functioning/chemical…

Summary of Ed Welch’s plenary ‘Addiction, Temptation & Voluntary Slavery’ (CCEF Conference Live Blog)
(I am writing these little summaries in between the live blog entries to let you know how Fred and I experienced the conference–and to give you just a flavor of the live blogs in case you were scared off by the 60,000 word count. 🙂 ) Back to Friday morning (November 14) … It was so great to gather as a group of almost 2,000! The worship was fantastic—I urge you to get to know the Getty’s if you don’t already know them. And the genuine love and respect shown by the CCEF staff members as they introduced one another added a degree of credibility to everything they did and…
