While attending the WhiteBoard Sessions on Thursday I was grieving inside for the family but I certainly guarnered encouragement from each speaker. I can't wait to debrief this a bit here on the blog in the next few days. I especially wanted to applaud Ed Stetzer on the great talk he gave from the platform to conclude our day on Thursday. His powerful message on doubt really resonated with me. After hearing news like this about the Chapmans and then connecting it with such hard questions we ask... like WHY THE HECK GOD?! It was an overwhelming day emotionally. My prayers are with the Chapman family.
This video I'm including will make you cry. To see little Maria interacting with her father is just precious. Please pray for this dear family.
If you’d like to meet Maria and express your condolences click here. By mail, send to PO Box 150156 Nashville, TN 37215. In lieu of flowers, the Chapmans request any gifts be directed to Shaohannah’s Hope.

If you’re not familiar with #hashtags, it’s a service that allows you put #(anything) in a tweet and create a feed of everyone who mentions anything WiBo here at http://www.hashtags.org/tag/WiBo/
If you are attending WiBo and want to get more out of your experience follow these simple steps:
This will allow you to receive all tweets with the phrase “WiBo” in it, allowing people to connect while there and see who is talking about the conference. Also makes it easier to do lunches and late-night meet ups.
I have signed up and it seems to be a pretty good tool -- if you can bear with the delay it has in posting.

I'm excited to know that some of the bloggers I read frequently secured the final available spots. Todd Rhoades (MMI guy), Scott Magdalein (Worship Leader & Website Guru) and Jay Hardwick (Church Planter) will be joining us for lunch on the day of WhiteBoard.
We currently have several people actually on a waiting list to get into our luncheon! They will be joining us for lunch if someone cancels on us... but if they are like me, they will want to grab some grub.
Details of the lunch were mentioned here.

We have reserved a private dining room at Uno's Chicago Grill just down the street from the conference with a limited 50 seats. Uno's prepared a menu for us (at a special price) which includes entree, dessert, drink, tax and tip to make it oh-so-easy.
This is sure going to be fun... so hurry up and register already (by May 20!) to reserve your spot!
Here's a list of Bloggers who have indicated they will be attending WiBo. You may see many of them at the luncheon!
Have a Wifo? Although she is obviously permitted to join us, she should register for Ainsley Arment's special luncheon for the ladies here!

This will be a world-class conference by itself... but another element for me is that this will be a Blogger's paradise of sorts. Bloggers whom I read literally everyday will be attending this conference! In some respects it will feel like meeting extended family members to me. It will be incredible.
Here's a list of bloggers who indicated that they will be at Whiteboard:
I look SO forward to connecting with each of you.
