    Hope as You Trust in Him

    Fred said that Nancy Guthrie’s keynote was his favorite one from the Peacemaker Conference—so that’s a ringing endorsement if you ask me! (‘Course, I think pretty highly of my hubby.) Here it is for you to enjoy (and learn from and be encouraged by—man! that’s a lot of phrases ending with a preposition, my AP English teacher, Dr. Charmian Poe, would not be pleased …): Hope as You Trust in Him

    LiveBlogs from the PCA Amazing Grace 360 Conference

    OK. We’re at a decision-point on these promotional materials for my new-new retreat (“Titus 2 in a 21st Century World”). I’ve heard from a handful of you already, but for the other 800 of you who are reading this right now, would you pretty-pretty-pretty-please UN-LURK yourselves and weigh in? (Hey! Weigh in!
