Had a great time at the Youth Specialties National Youth Workers Convention. Went to some sessions and introduced the DVD series to a new group of friends. I had a booth at the end of the aisle in a huge exhibit hall, right behind a gigantic screen that blocked everything from sight. Yet, I had no problem meeting people because I had fresh, hot, popcorn (thanks for the idea, Buzz!) and I had snakeman, my new buddy Chad from youthbytes.org. He had a big, live boa constrictor that you could
nice snakey...
put around your neck or run from, depending on who you are. So, you were either attracted or repelled to come pay a visit. It was great!
One of the things I learned this weekend is you meet a lot of new friends who are introducing their ministries, schools, and such. It is like a bunch of carnies without the grease from the Ferris Wheel. Since I have always thought carnies are kind of cool, and I now know how to pop corn at lightening speed…well, who knows? You might see me a the popcorn stand at a carnival near you.
