Ambassador Hospitality Suite Visitors

Bryan and Michael--thanks for visiting the Ambassador Hospitality Suite!

Is It Monday Already?!

It's hard to believe it's already Monday morning of NRB...it's been a wonderful time so far--meeting up with friends like Bryan Race . . . thanks for the new email address Bryan--we'll be sure to add you right away! =) And Michael Shelley . . . I'll try to post your picture momentarily! One of my highlights so far was a very special dinner with Joni and Moody friends--great time of fellowship and hymn singing (Scott Keegan--wow, what a voice!) And muchisimas gracias to Tony Calatayud and the Salem Team for a very exciting and informative time this morning about what's on the horizon for Salem Spanish radio! Off to fellowship in the Ambassador Hospitality Suite now (Presidential Boardroom A). It'll be a wonderful afternoon with Pete Briscoe, Jim Garlow, Gary Chapman, Vonette Bright, Kay Arthur and Charles Morris ... be sure to stop by and say "Hi!"

Fun at the GOOH!

Always a highlight at NRB is our special family time with ministry and station partners. Today's time together at GOOH (Grand Ole Opry House) was one of the best yet! It was great to see all the friendly faces and get caught up with many of you there. The music and ministry of Calvin Nowell was Christ-honoring and uplifting--a wonderful time of worship. Boy, after that, I'm ready to hit the Monday. Sleep well, all!

The NRB Blur

NRB has been a blur for me so far! It's been wonderful to be meeting so many people. I feel like I've started to see the "heart" of the industry--especially after last night's opening session. I had no idea how encouraging/motivating it would be to see hundreds of people gathered together with a common goal of sharing Jesus Christ through broadcast! It's so hard to decide where to be when, especially with so many great things going on. But if I haven't met you yet, I’d like to invite you to stop by the Ambassador Hospitality Suite (Presidential Boardroom A). I'd love for you to come by so I can meet you!

Merry Christmas!

I was dreaming of a white Christmas . . . in December! I guess my wish was granted a few months late. Here's looking out my hotel window. Brrr!

Rough Ride!!

Well, I must say that Nashville and the Opryland Resort is AMAZING!!! Already today I have met some wonderful ministry partners and begun fostering relationships. But, I am glad that the flight is OVER! As we started our initial decent into Nashville, the captain let us know that we would experience some turbulence so I adjusted my seat belt and got ready for the ride. What I wasn't ready for was the one flight attendant telling the other "let's get out of here!" as they ran down the isle of the plane. Maybe 2 minutes later the plane shuttered, and dropped. Then swung to the right, then to the left and then dropped again. Man, that was intense. Luckily, that was the worst of it and we landed safely. But there is an indent on the seat where I burrowed myself and there are five gouge marks on the side arm rest where my hand was..:)

Compulsive checking

I don't know about you, but when I'm packing for a trip, I feel the need to check things multiple times to make sure it's packed and ready to go. For example, I will probably check 3 or 4 times just to make sure my NRB badge is in my bag, that my deodorant is really in my toiletry bag and that my wallet is really where I left it 5 minutes before.

But hey, I also sometimes drive back home just to make sure I really closed the garage door. You see, my theory is that if you compulsively check to make sure you have everything, you'll never forget anything!

See you all at NRB...I'll be the one looking in my purse making sure I have my room key...
