Did I mention that I left for Nashville yesterday? Because I did. I boarded a Southwest Airlines plane to Nashville at 4:25 p.m. yesterday and as of this moment I’m in a very comfortable king size bed in my very own hotel room. It’s delightful, especially because they have fitted bottom sheets which is the standard by which I judge all hotels.
Well, that and if their continental breakfast includes more than a piece of rubber masquerading as a bagel.
Anyway, I’m here with Sophie for the LifeWay Women’s Forum. We’re teaching a class on how social media can be your friend.
(I don’t think that’s the official title.)
If you want to see some live footage from the conference, it’s being streamed live all day long from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. and you can watch it by clicking here. There’s no telling what you might see in the span of those twelve hours, but I’ll bet there will be a little bit of Travis Cottrell and Priscilla Shirer in the mix.
One more thing, if you read one thing today, make it this post that Shaun Groves wrote from El Salvador yesterday about spending time with his sponsored child. It’s the perfect picture of what Compassion does.
Y’all have a great Friday.

There is NOTHING worse than being in a hotel bed with the sheets all messed up because they didn’t bother to buy a fitted bottom sheet. (Well, there are plenty of things worse, but that has such an easy fix so it should be a given.) Enjoy your trip!
Oh have fun!!!! I love traveling. I know you and Sophie will have a great time.
Yeah Priscilla Shirer! I heard her speak at Catalyst in Atlanta just last month…amazing!
Have fun!
Hey Big Mama! I know that this is off topic from your post, But I just wanted you to know that I woke up in the middle of the night with a tingling lip. As I rushed to swallow my 3 l-lysine pills, and as they were taking their time getting past my throat, I thought of you. And I had a pretty good blow water out my nose laugh! Man, those are some HUGE pills! I hope you enjoy your trip!
shauns story was a-mazing…moved me to BIG tears this morning…(not that it takes a whole lot to move me to TEARS mind you, but BIG tears, well thats something different entirely!)
have a great time!
Oh I’m so jealous! I love Nashville! You two should catch up with Angie while your there!
A hotel room all to yourself? Jealous here! I think Priscilla Shirer is great…I’ve never heard her speak in person, but I’ve done a few of her Bible studies, and they are great.
Hope you have a great workshop!
Welcome you two! We’re supposed to have glorious weather and there are all kinds of fun things going on this weekend in town- if you want a tour guide or just some advice on where to get your Mexican fix let me know- there is a little secret I can fill you all in on as far as that goes. Have fun!
your aggies are coming here to norman tomorrow. I will be at the game (hopefully) to cheer on my sooners! they may have 88% of their starting line-up out because of season-ending injuries, and they may have played their worst football game EVER last week, but I think OU will still bring an aggie-smackdown.
have fun in nashville!
I waved to you from my window. Did you see? Maybe not since I’m about an hour up I24 from Nashville.
Enjoy your trip!
So cool what’s happening here. Hopefully I’ll get to see you with Perry next time in town.
Have a great time in Nashville! I just got home from their yesterday! We were their for the CMA’s! Nashville is a wonderful city!
Do you mean that if we tune into all the *live* stuff we might see you live and in person in something other then a scarf video?! Don’t get me wrong,I’ve watched the scarf video about 2 or 23 times, but watching you and Sophie talk about social media can be MY friend-now that is sure to be exceptional.
Are you by any chance going to see Angie Smith while you’re in her neck of the woods? If you do, you have to give her a hug from me!
I’m watching it online now! Priscilla is really great…inspiring, challenging, very real. I’ve never heard her speak before…boy, have I been missing out. So glad you’re able to be there (and that you told us how to be a part of it).
On another note, and because it’s Fashion Friday, I BEG you to find out where on earth her knit dress came from. It is absolutely fabulous!
Have a great time!!!
Well you could’ve told us what you took with you to wear and then it would have still been a Fashion Friday!
Just sayin’
Wish I had know. I am a faithful reader and live and work in Nashville. Would love to have met you!
Enjoy the trip! I gave you an award today- come get it!
It was great to meet you today at the Forum. I enjoyed your class and learned some stuff too! Thanks so much!
Have a great time. Don’t forget to include a local Mexican food review.
I am totally with you on the fitted sheet comment. I also wished that hotels would put real, living green plants in the room… even just one would help.
wish i could’ve met you while you were here!! hope you enjoyed our town
Hmm, I never thought about the fitted-sheet thing. Interesting! You know I am going to look now, every hotel I visit. Thanks
First visit to your blog. I’m adding you to my links! If you have any tips on how to increase readership, I am all ears.
