CONVENTION UPDATE

Ta da! A Convention announcement!
We just signed the papers and we thank you for your prayers as we worked on moving, well, a whole lotta details in just a few days.

Drum roll #1: The Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, FL (Orlando area) was able to welcome us (in the midst of many conventions needing to move).

Drum roll #2: We're able to keep the registration fees the same, so some of you might decide to come early or stay late, and enjoy the Orlando amenities with your friends (or family).

And thanks for all the great ideas of cities! You helped our future dreaming. 'Twould be fun!
And again, it will be great because of Who we'll be with: "Where(ver) two or three (thousand) are gathered in my name, there am I with them." (Mt. 18:20, our year's theme verse with my additions).

We are working with the Gaylord Opryland for an official letter we can provide to anyone who has already purchased airline tickets to use with airlines to avoid rebooking fees. This letter should assist you in rebooking airline tickets — it will be posted online at www.MOPS.org/convention.
We continue to pray for families and businesses affected by the flooding and we have sent MOPS materials to local MOPS leaders who are distributing supplies in the Nashville area.

SDWSC

This button was given to all the attendees at the MOPS Convention. There was no explanation offered when the button was given to them and each mom was encouraged to wear her button throughout the Convention. Of course, there were many guesses on SDWSC. Some I remember involved Caffeine, Convention, and there was even a Sexy Christian guess. Luckily, as a Field Leader (FL), Elisa Morgan explained SDWSC to the FLs during our training prior to the start of the Convention. After it was explained to us, we were then instructed to forget what it meant. If a mom asked us, we were suppose to tell her that we weren't sure what it meant, but encourage her to figure out its meaning.
At Saturday's General Session, Elisa Morgan read from Mark 14. I am going to post verses 3-9 from my NIV Bible.
"While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, 'Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor.' And they rebuked her harshly.
'Leave her alone,' said Jesus. 'Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.'"
She Did What She Could...
Any thoughts?

These are just some of my thoughts on Mark 14:1-10 I have been looking over the passage like once a week just being still with it.

Mary chose to remember the lord by given all she had to honor him, even though she was rebuked. She did what she could. Am I doing what I can to honor the Lord by my actions my words my thoughts. Do I give Christ the expensive part of my heart, do I give Him my best time to sit and pray or do I give Him the left over time when I am tiered and warn out and can keep my eyes open.
