But I will sign your book.? Maybe.? To say that sounds really, really weird.
(But I guess signing your body parts would be a little weirder).
(And before I head into this, just in case you decide to skim it – please come back later today for the afternoon post. I have a HUGE giveaway that many of you would LOVE to win…trust me…okay…now, on to the show…)
Mad Church Disease actually releases in the next couple of weeks and as such, I am earning a lot of frequent flyer miles traveling around to introduce people to its message.
If I’m going to be near you, please stop by and say hi!
**Southern Cali people – please note the event on February 16!? I’ll be blogging about it a little bit later but there will be a limited number of seats so consider this your advance notice!? And if you’re one of the first 75 people to RSVP you get a free book!**
Anyhoo, I’ve noted the events that are open and/or free to the public if you’re not attending one of the conferences…
Hope to meet a lot of you soon.? Let me know if I’ll see you at any of these.? And if you’re interested in having me come to your part of the world, drop me a line!
By the way, be careful what you wish for.? About two and a half years ago, I felt I needed to release control about my promise to never speak in public…I prayed about it and committed that if God ever opened doors for me to do it, I’d walk through them.
Funny, huh?

What, no signing down here in the huge metropolis of Auburn? And I was really hoping to get you to sign straight across my head, kinda how Tim Stevens did with his own profile head with Pop Goes the Church :)
Guess I will have to come up with something else then.
I’ve ruined many a shoe, arm, forehead, and pair of jeans with my signature after shows and camps. I wonder how many parents my band has ticked off during autograph sessions.
Looking forward to meeting you at re:create…
See you at recreate Anne.
Any chance you are going to come the freezing cold NorthEast?
are cupcakes body parts?
Will you be at Catalyst in October?
I am so proud of you!
Congratulations, Anne. This looks so exciting!
Can’t wait to see you at re:create! woo hoo! what a week! But I am bummed cause I wanted you to sign my arm. jk. I will also be attending Cross Point Sunday night Feb. 1st……
So here’s an idea. We should come up with a tattoo for those who have survived ministry burnout! (sort of like being branded!) I’ve always wanted a small tattoo but the hubby says an emphatic “no”. Maybe he’d say yes to this. Off topic I know.
Scott – Maybe Birmingham…..
Sam – if you can get me a flight and a place to crash I’m there!
Bill – I hope so! Somehow!
Jan – see you in Feb!
Oh…sweet I will be at Innovate in Dallas. Hope to finally put a face with a great name that Blake has told me so much about. Talk with you soon.
Great Trevor – See you there!
Anne,
I’ll get my copy @ re:create – woo hoo!
i am so excited for our time together–hate to have to share you!!!! but duh, i get it.
Holy smack…you’re a big deal!! I could cry to see how God is continuing to explode the platform that he want you to be on.
Trevor…thanks for giving a shout out…I love you bro.
Nice, Bent Tree is right around the corner from me here. Not to sound creepy but I see your face daily here. I’ll explain a little… I am lead developer on the SmallGroupExchange.com web site where you have an article up there. That’s how I ended up here one day by checking out some of the leaders on the site. I like your blog so I show up from time to time. Maybe I’ll see you on the 27th.
