We had a time...

And that was the theme for the Arizona Ladies Conference...based on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8..."It's Time...to Sing, Dance, Laugh, Heal, Give."

It was such a blessing to be a part of this anointed conference, speak alongside Nancy Grandquist, and meet sweet Debbie Akers.

And only a few short days later, I packed up again...this time with my son and daughter, and headed South. It was a wonderful conference in Selmer, Tennessee, followed by a special happening for me...speaking in my hometown of Paducah, Kentucky. Thank you, Karen Davis, in Tennessee, and the Romains in Paducah, for having me.

Goodbye, St. Louis & Denver...Hello, Mesa, Arizona!

This is me and my sonny boy, Charles, in St. Louis this month for the North American Bible Quiz Tournament--the final competition of the 2010 season, or what we fondly call "nationals.' I was so glad I got to be with him and the team...and perhaps if I keep my van I'll be asked to drive again next year. It was a blast!

I was blessed to be at Landmark Tabernacle in Denver with Rev. and Mrs. Billy Hale for their second annual "Family First" weekend. It was great! I got to do all the things I love...At the top of the list was participate in fantastic worship and hear awesome messages from Pastor Hale and others. Saturday I spoke to the youth and the ladies in separate sessions and then the wonderful church family Sunday evening. This picture is a little after-service pizza party with the Hales, Hoods, Elmses and company.

And just for fun, I've included one of my favorite pictures. This is me peddling my little sister Cheryl around in our hometown, Paducah, Kentucky. I'm headed there soon, after Arizona, and also to Selmer, Tennessee. So check the schedule to the right if you're in any of these areas. It would be so great to see you at any of the events. For more info, send me an email at loriwagner@affirmingfaith.com. 

And thanks for your prayers and support! They are so appreciated...for  safe travel, for the messages shared, for the people who come for encouragement and some nuggets to take home to their realities, and for my family when I am away. God bless you!

Oh...can't forget something special for my local friends...

You're Invited...

I'm one of the speakers at an August 28 meeting in Troy called, "Growing in Intimacy." Here's the link for more information and to register.

"Here I Am!"

A sweetheart from Canada recorded this little clip from when I spoke in Manitoba this April. It's a song I wrote quite some time ago, but when the Lord tells you to pull something out and use it...you just go with it...
