Well, this is the 3rd time I have tried to post this but here we go again.
This was my 2nd and Amy's 1st, and overall it was a very good trip.
We are both energized after hearing some great and challenging preaching on revival and personal repentance. We want to GROW and lead others to serve boldly.
I also learned a few a things.
I learned #1 - to take up for my wife. After leaving the convention hall on eday for lunch I was the only sucker to be approached and actually engage a fellow (over)zealous brother over the matters of Arminianism vs. being a five-pointer. My jumped in to defend me but she heard, "Excuse me, I'm talking with THE PASTOR!" She wasn't happy and I didn't walk off in support of Amy. Lesson learned - I was a failure for not calling him out.
Lesson #2 - Be informed, at least a little. As Amy mentioned, we were interviewed by the AP, and to say the least I was ashamed that I had not taken the time to be informed about the presidential candidates. I felt like a baffoon when I read my quote (Google "Brad and Amy Brandon SBC") about John McCain being pro-choice.
Anyway, it was a great trip for those reasons and many more. Now we are back in Lebanon, TN at Shop Springs Baptist Church preparing for VBS next week.
Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless. With God we will perform valiantly, He will trample our foes. Isaiah 60:11-12
Is God your aid against all foes? He can be. Jeremiah 29:13 says, "You shall seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart."
May God bless you,
Brad

Hello Brad and Amy, I enjoyed the blog and there is not a stand out candidate. We have been praying at the Fraker house for our nation and our leaders, God answers prayer. It is awsome that you guys are hungry for Christ and stepping out boldly in the world for his Kingdom. God you and your family.
Hey,
