So another day is over. This is now the evening of Day 2 of the conference, although this is more like day four or five for me, since we’ve been up since Monday morning working on all the practical stuff for the conference.

The morning service gave me more time to work on my program. The worship team is easy to follow once we’ve got the communications up and running, and once you learn how they sing and function. It’s been a while for me … the last time I was heavily involved in stuff like that was at Bible School, Europaporten, back in 1995.

Things went easier today too, because the afternoon service was no service but a seminar, with no worship or powerpoint involved, which brought me some much-needed relief. Time to take a moment off, have a bite at a restaurant and cool down. Not that cooling down is easy in this heatwave, but good ol’ Eva prayed for rain, and sure enough, towards the evening service, we were served some pretty hefty Cumulonimbus clouds which brought a heavy rainfall and some lightning and thunder.

I spoke with Paul Anderson today, the preacher from Minnesota. He’s a preacher! He rebuked us all for unbelief and sleep with his heavy California accent. I wonder what strange plans of God that’ll bring me to Minneapolis next week – just in time to catch the end of a conference they have in their city.

They’re cutting out the lights in the Arena right now. Time to turn off the program, pack up and get some shuteye.
