When I was growing up in Mesquite, Texas, there was only one other “Keith” in my school. Well, actually, there were two, but one didn’t use the name. So when someone called out “Keith”, there was little confusion who was being called. I could respond with confidence.
At this conference, I’ve met Keith SanLuis from the Philippines. So now, when someone in the conference room calls out, “Keith, would you help that person over there?”, I look around to see who he’s calling.
It’s really different!
Kay and I had a taste of heaven today — mango sticky rice. This Thai delicacy is delicious. It’s normal rice or wild rice with some sweetened condensed milk added. Add Thai mango, which is fantastic. Cover it with a coconut milk sauce and enjoy!
We have finished our first conference in Thailand. There were two conferences. I participated in the Operations Directors conference.
I am always encouraged by meeting with our leaders from around the world. To hear their stories, to share meals together, to pray together at the foot of the throne — this is a foretaste of heaven!

A major part of a good conference is the networking and relationship-building. That’s me on the far right of the photo. I’m visiting with Mike Schroeder of Donorware. We talked about everything from leadership to technology to trusting God in difficult circumstances.

The Internet Ministry Conference opened on Wednesday night to a full house.
Kay and I are in Grand Rapids, Michigan where this morning it was 57 degrees (farenheit). Great weather.
