For those who are readers here, let’s talk about the SBC Annual Meeting in New Orleans June 19-20(?).
Are you going?
What are you looking forward to doing in New Orleans?
What significant actions do you hope we will take at the meeting?
Would you be interested in a blogger’s get-together (say, Cafe Du Monde) after one of the evening sessions?
I booked my hotel this week. I’m looking forward to it!
I will be there, Lord willing.
I’m looking forward to the questions from the floor. A certain question was particularly entertaining and even led to a new verb: mohlerized. 🙂
I’m most looking forward to meeting other Southern Baptists and watching history take place with Fred Luter becoming our next president.
Blogger get together is a great idea.
I will be there with Josh and I agree, a blogger get together would be fantastic.
1. Yes, I’m going, along with my wife and two sons. (We sort of turn it into a bit of a family vacation when not in session. The boys will participate in the youth conference — a mission project this year.) 2. I’m looking forward to eating my way across New Orleans–a muffaletta at Central Grocery, a shrimp poboy at Mother’s, etc. This will be my 13th straight SBC Annual Meeting, so frankly the reports and exhibits are like watching reruns. I enjoy the preaching, the worship and the fascinating way we orchestrate / conduct a business meeting with 5,000… Read more »
Oh man…Cafe du Monde. Spending $200 on a 32-hr round trip Greyhound bus trip would be totally worth it to have that and a “Ferdi” from Mother’s (http://www.mothersrestaurant.net/mothers_menu.html)–with “debris” of course! (“debris” – all the good scraps and juices from their own roasted turkey, roast beef, and ham.)
If I’m not working, it’s a possibility.
OK, to rephrase Dave’s question: Who’s going and who’s hotel floor can I bum some square footage on?
I don’t know where you are coming from, but I just got an Air Tran flight from ATL for about $250. And it’s only 1.5 hours (though at least 6 more will be spent in some capacity at the airport – still that beats the pants off 32 hours for only about $50 more).
No, not going.
Nothing, but I will watch you guys on the livestream, so behave yourselves well during motion time.
Significant: don’t do anything foolish. Or anything that seals any other records for years to come.
Yes, I’d love to come to a blogger meeting. Call me and put me on speaker. It will be just like being a mega-church pastor via livestream.
Can we all chip in and get Doug a hologram?
I wonder if I could vote if I had a hologram present?
Wish I could go but I love my being married too much to go to New Orleans and leave my wife and daughter alone in NYC two weeks after moving there.
Dave,
Would u mine emailing me where u are staying, when y gave an opportunity. It’s possible Vera & I might want to rent a room there if available & near the convention center.
Dwight
I plan on being there. Bringing my wife (for the first time).
Look forward to seeing friends and hanging out with @sbcmessenger.
A blogger fellowship time would be great – but I don’t know if Cafe Du Monde could handle us given that the rest of the 5000+ messengers will be wanting to make their pilgrimage there as well. As for what I am most looking forward to? 1) David Platt at the Pastor’s Conference – he was en fuego with the Holy Spirit at T4G and I am looking forward to more at the SBCPC 2) 9 Marks at 9 – it’s was great in Louisville 3) The Resolution on the National Christian Flag 4) The Resolution to boycott Pepsi 5)… Read more »
I will be there. First SBC meeting since San Antonio. Would love to have a bloggers get together.
Excited about Fred Luter as president.
1) I’d love to go, but I’m taking off to India that week, so I need to prepare things at work for my absence.
If I could go:
2) Find some fresh boiled crawfish. It’s nigh impossible to find that meal outside of southern LA. And if #4 is right, then hang out with you guys.
3) Whatever is decided, that due reliance on God is first and foremost.
4) A get-together would be amazing. I wish I could be there.
