I appreciate y’all’s patience with me this past week while I was out of town to attend my dad’s 101st birthday and visit for a few days in Arizona. I’m forever amazed that he seems to always have another story that I haven’t heard before, and I’m truly grateful that he’s still around to tell them 🙂 This week I’ll be heading to Texas for a visit with my oldest daughter and her family. I’ll again do my best to keep up with your submissions and requests! Still, as always, feel free to send questions, corrections, comments, or concerns to me through either the CONTACT form on the website or email at info@conferencekeeper.org. Your input is very much appreciated!
