Workout- Biceps and Back
Bible Reading- Daniel 9 - Hosea 13:6

If there were an award for "Husband of the Year"... then I think I would be a good contender. Not because I am so incredibly awesome. That is merely a side effect of being me. I deserve this award because I do things with my wife to make her happy, even when I really don't want to.

This weekend there was a Beth Moore, "Living Proof" conference in St. Louis. Breanne is friends with Travis Cottrell, who is the worship leader for these events. She really loves this guy and the way he and his team lead worship and really wanted me to go with her to this conference to experience it. So I agreed.

Those of you who don't know who Beth Moore is, then you may be asking yourself why this is such a big deal. Well, these conferences are primarily attended by women. There were a few men there, but the predominant hormone in the room is by far, Estrogen. So there I was surrounded by 7,500 women in Capri pants. I have never felt more out of place in my life. All of the male bathrooms in the building had been re purposed for feminine use. So when it came time for me to go I was in real trouble. I searched high and low for a place to go that wasn't surrounded by hordes of women. Finally I found the one bathroom in the entire stadium that had not been taken over. At least that is what I thought. While the bathroom was intended for male use, I was told I couldn't go in as twelve women felt the need to take over this last sanctuary of testosterone. I patiently waited my turn, which was quite aggravating. I'm a man! I have never had to wait to use a bathroom in my life! Anyway... I digress.

All complaints aside, I really was pretty good. Anyone that thinks that women cannot teach the word of God need to listen to a little Beth Moore. She is freaking incredible! Pretty hilarious as well, which is always nice. Overall, the women were very accommodating and did not give me too many sideways glances. No one asked me why I was there as if I was some sort of spy who had crossed some invisible enemy line. I was welcomed with open arms. Despite feeling welcome, I still felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb. My wife was happy that I went with her and I suppose if I had to, I would do it again. This is how much I love you honey.
