Konnection 2006

How about spending a few days of winter break in Hicktown, USA, a.k.a. Branson, Mo.? It turned out to be pretty fun road tripping with my buddies from LSU and Mississippi College and of course getting to meet back up with old friends from Kanakuk. But we can't forget the great musical performances by Lecrae and Shawn McDonald. I got to see Lecrae at Kanakuk a couple of times, but he was still "crunk," and Shawn M was good even though he forgot the words to two songs (one of them being Amazing Grace!)



Miles McPherson, a former San Diego Charger and pastor of Rock Church in San Diego, spoke to us about how we are like diamonds, and God is the one who cuts away all the trash to give us our "bling." He challenged us to look at what our bling factor is – how well do we shine God's love back out to other people... Marvin Daniels, the director of Kids Across America, spoke about how God has demonstrated his provisions and protection and presence and why we are to give him glory in everything we do... Tommy Nelson, the pastor of Denton Bible Church in Texas, gave us a challenge of being a servant of others like Christ did when he washed the feet of his disciples. Overall, learned some pretty cool stuff during the sessions.
