I have a bit of a confession (hence the breaking of that one-post-a-day thing I've been doing); becuase I have not been so mindful with my finances, I am not able to attend the BibleTech Conference that's going on later this month. Its not because I was crazy and spent funds on tons of things even. I helped out a (new) friend in need, plus met financial goals in other areas, and that left me without the ability to go to BibleTech.

I really feel bad about this because I've want to not just go to this, but other conferences this and last year, but the finances and travel/time management side of things has seen me coming up short (should I pray for an assistant in that area?).

So I do want to apologize in advance to all of you readers who were expecting me to be there. I cannot. I've prayed about going, and even as far as wanting to do things out of order financially to go, but I cannot.

This is probably the one area where in doing MMM that I am most discouraged. Financially, I'm not yet able to do what I'd want to do in terms of traveling, speaking, and teaching, because finances are an issue. Thankfully, I have been getting a better hand of things (been doing Dave Ramsey's Financal Peace University with my church for the past two months, and I am in remarkably better shape than in the recent past); I just haven't turned the corner where I can say that finances are not a hindrance here.

Apologies for the extremely personal post, regular programming will resume hereafter. I read this and it just hit me (again) that I'm not able to partake in what should be a great event for MMM, its readers, and the entire Body. Nevertheless, please keep myself and MMM in your prayers, hopefully as the year goes on, other opportunities will come where engaging companies such as Laridian and Logos can happen.
