Since I cannot both speak and LiveBlog at the same time, I thought I’d at least give you a copy of the handouts for my general session: “Why would you ever do that?” – The Real Source and Strength of Lasting Compassion And also point you in the direction of the PCA’s CE&P bookstore which has flashdrives of the entire conference (including all workshops) available for purchase here.  Hope those are a blessing to you! Warmly, Tara B. 

As I was working today to gather links, etc. for this weekend’s LiveBlogs, I found that, in some sort of funny, turned in on itself, Escher-esque existential way, I was the #1 Google hit for some of the speakers. In fact, not just me–but my reminders about the very LiveBlogs I was doing content prep for. I must be very tired because this makes me chuckle every time I think about it. But I’m not chuckling at these training sessions! Wow! The content looks so good. I am truly praying that God would help me to listen well, learn well, and be better equipped to serve with true compassion. Hope to…

Whenever I am not speaking myself (haven’t quite figured out how to type and teach at the same time), I’ll be LiveBlogging the general sessions for this week’s PCA Women’s Leadership Training Conference–Leading with Compassion–Called to Serve, Equipped to Lead.

I just learned that my handouts are due soon for the PCA’s upcoming women’s leadership conference: PCA Women’s Ministry Leadership Training Conference: Leading with Compassion–Called to Serve, Equipped to Lead I would appreciate your prayers as I work to finalize my content. The title for my plenary session is: “Why would you ever do that?” — The Real Source and Strength of Lasting Compassion It has already been through one layer of my theology-checkers, so hopefully there is no unintentional heresy in there. (Not being seminary trained, I really rely on the help and oversight of my friends and church leaders.) I’m also doing two workshops: Biblical Peacemaking: As the PCA…

Good afternoon from Atlanta and please let me apologize for missing the final general session for AmazingGrac360! I had every intention of being there, but I was up pretty much all night violently ill. I assume it was food poisoning because it came on me so quickly and I have no flu symptoms now. But still. I have been in bed all morning and I’m just now about to try to shower and move towards my many flights that will (hopefully) get me home by around 1AM this time zone. Even though I couldn’t LiveBlog the session, I do have the rundown of the schedule … so let me please…
