Day 4 - Bloggers of the World, Unite

Good Morning!

It's 6:30ish here in Southern California.

A typical conference day for me starts with getting up without an alarm! at 5:30, making coffee with the cool one-cup coffee maker, tidying my room, (yes, Ken it IS shocking!!) time with God, and then "having some hygiene," as Jarad would say! At 7:30, it's off to breakfast, worship, and devotions.

This morning I have Letty's laptop so I've switched it up in case I don't get a chance to write you all a blog letter today. There's a speaker tonight so I don't want to miss out.

Today we are going to hear the author of our second book, Hugh Hewitt, talk about, what else? His book called "BLOG" Yes, it's "Why you must know how the blogosphere is smashing the old media monopoly and giving individuals power in the marketplace of ideas." That's right. It's "understanding the information reformation that's chaning your world."

So, not a lot of missions have blogs... I don't know of any that do, but there must be some. Jon, I'm grateful you set up a blog for me. I don't know if I'm "doing it right" or even if we have many visitors outside our family yet, but I think it's good to be on the cutting edge.

Vicki, I got your letters but apparently have no time to answer them. Hopefully you're keeping my chaos at bay for me! I definately should have a "whale done" whale for leaving my desk so clean, eh?! Don't disappoint me.

AND, even though Ken is making me take vacation days for this California adventure, and even though in protest I am TRYING not to learn anything work related... it's not happening for me. I can't help picking people's brains and taking notes at the workshops and reading during my free time. So, Larry, I may have told a fib when I said I wasn't learning anything.

I'll pay my dollar out of U.S. funds!

See ya'll soon!
Michelle

PS. I have 9 pounds to spare in my suitcase so I hope I can fit in your souveniers! They'll probably be made of feathers or popcorn.
