The 2013 Orange Conference Is In The History Books

I'm home and the 2013 Orange Conference is over but it's impact on me has just begun. This year's theme was focus and the rethink thinkers knocked it out of the park. Every session as well as some of the added features gave us one opportunity after another to focus. I think my favorite addition this year was the gallery. This was a wonderful visual reminder to make each week count with the children in our lives both at home and at church. Every time I walked through something spoke to me that I didn't see the time before.  It was very powerful to me the focus on focus that was put into the making of this year's conference. Anyone who knows me know I appreciate a plan and as I think about all the work and the intentionally and emphasis on focus I have to say a big thank you to the minds of Orange. This year's event caused me to rethink my thinking, and rethink my choices as well as rethink my actions. As I'm rethinking I'm asking God to help me focus. I am so honored to have been a part of #OC13. Last night I went ahead and put the 2014 Orange Conference dates on my calendar. I plan to be there and hope you'll make every possible effort to do the same. If you can only go to one conference choose this one, bring your team, bring your Senior Pastor and Student Ministry team as well. In the mean time I have a year to work on my focus and make each week of these next 52 count in my home, my ministry and count in skin.
