Let me tell you, now that some of the "fog" has cleared, some of my favorite moments last week.

1. Corporate worship with my daughter at my side. (Lex was running sound and Avery was up in the "booth" with Ted - the amazing visual guy.)

2. Watching Ashley (when she didn't know I was watching) run the ZOE Store with a glowing smile nobody could resist.

3. Seeing their faces when they were asked "sweet or unsweet" regarding their tea at CrackerBarrel. (with the Nashville accent, of course) We don't have "sweet tea" in California. We do, however, have Non-Fat DeCaf Soy Latte's. ICK!

4. A powerful drama time with a very talented Donna Hester of ACU as she delivered an engaging presentation of some women from the Bible.

5. Watching my son take very seriously his role as tech set-up helper. And, seeing him answer questions in tech language with a sweet spirit and confident heart. (how did he get so smart?)

6. Watching a group of 7-10 deaf people have their own kind of praise and worship. It was amazing...brought tears to my eyes.

7. While singing the Magnificat, (four parts, each added one at a time) one deaf interpreter signed the first group, another joined for the second, another for the third, and finally a fourth person came out to represent the final part. If you have heard that song, you know how amazing it is when all four parts finally come together...couple that with passionate interpreters layering on their offering and it is hard not to choke up.

8. Watching my daughter's face as the sweet professor from Lipscomb University told her it is better for her to minor in Bible instead of major, because it is hard for women to get jobs in ministry. (you really should have seen her...it was priceless.)

9. Laughing, crying, praying, singing, talking with friends.

10. Watching Randy Wray squeeze in the back of our rental car in between my two petite children...Randy insisted it was cozy, nice, but ultimately admitted that when we opened the door, it was like opening one of those cans of biscuits! POP! They all came tumbling out...

11. Having lunch on Sunday with Randy Wray and Don & Cheryl Foster at the Grand Ole Opry Hotel. Their brunch is amazing and somehow, we always get this private room that makes us feel like royalty!

12. Watching God work through people. Not just speakers/teachers/singers/presenters, but everybody. Seeing the little circles of friends, some old, some brand new just met, talking and laughing and praying together.

There are probably 50 moments I could list specifically, but for now, I'll stop.

It's all good. It's all God.
