Thus far I have been challenged, encouraged, overwhelmed and filled with thankfulness.  Probably other things too, but that is enough for now.  I will have to write more thoughts when I am a bit more coherent, but as of now I have been up since 8:00 this morning (after going to bed at 1:30 a.m.) and we have had a full day of sessions and worship and unbelievable moments at the conference.

The multi-ethnic church family that I am a part of is amazing.  Thus far I have heard from Pastor Grace from Lagos, Nigeria, Pastor Rice Broocks, Efren Penaflorida from the Philippines (CNN Hero of the year), Pastor Yesupadam Paidamula from India and Darlene Zschech from Australia.  You can actually listen to the podcasts of all theses speakers at www.en2010.com website.

That does not even mention the Amazing Grace moment tonight where 50 different languages sang together in glorious [praise unto God.  When all the voices joined in together in their own native languages all at once, it was like a sound I have never heard before (literally). But it was more than that, as I believe it was a sound like heaven, and tears began to stream down my face.

After closing out the night with another 2 songs and jumping around like I was 10 years younger it is time for so sleep though ever so brief.  It is 12 midnight now and we have a sound check at 7:15 a.m.  Couldn’t somebody else say “check one, two three” in the mic for me?
