Bootcamp: Day 1

Well, the conference /bootcamp went really well tonight. If tonight is any indication, it should be a very educational, uplifting, God glorifying, convicting and challenging (to our thinking) few days. Doug Phillips did an extrordinary job giving the "big picture" talk of entrepreneurship and its relation to scripture and the Christian family. As in other areas, Christians have either given over their thinking to the world's ways or to the other extreme, having adapted beliefs of trying to be so seperate from the world's ways that they have just given their dominion mandate away, which is just as unscriptural. Our job is "Sola Scriptura" (turning to scripture, not the world) in discerning these truths. As we turn to God in all our thinking and realize we are just stewards of what he chooses to give us, only then will we be able to fulfill the callings he has for us. Oh, so much to learn...... We are constantly having to reprogram our minds with truth---God's truth! There was so much more than this tonight, but we will just have to loan you the cds because it was too much to describe. We'll have a full set from the conference to share. It lasted a couple of hours, but only brushed the surface on issues that could take weeks!

This is the Tower of the Americas. It is located in Hemisphere Park right next to the Gonzales Convention Center. It can be seen from all over the city and is beautiful at night.

Oh, and Mr Botkin is doing the 21 characteristics of the 21st century leader again. Maybe he will be able to get to the points more in depth this time.?.
