$\"\"$ <\/a>Slices of StoryChicago<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. \u201cWeakness brings liberation. Confession transforms\u201d \u2013 Dave Gibbons
2. \u201cPropositions will not save you.\u201d \u2013 Chris Seay
3. Note to self: Get that Frederick Buechner book already (Telling The Truth: Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale<\/span>) since it keeps coming up in conversation.
4. \u201cWe censor our stories when we only talk about our success.\u201d \u2013 Mike Foster
5. A drumline is a great way to announce the beginning of a session.
6. \u201c\u2018Be the person God designed you to be\u2019. I don\u2019t know what that means!\u201d \u2013 Donald Miller
7. Musicians, story characters, communications people in a sea of macs and iphones.
8. Won a copy of Skye Jethani\u2019s Divine Commodity<\/span> \u2013 and missed picking it up from under some seat at the Paramount Theater, the site of day 1 of the event because I couldn\u2019t access twitter that day. More on twitter for day two.
9. \u201cInstructional method of preaching is a failure. It does not challenge people\u2019s perceptions of reality.\u201d \u2013 The Guy Who Wrote The Book I Won And Didn\u2019t Pick Up.
10. \u201cThe cross tells the story creation never could.\u201d \u2013 Thomas Fluharty
11. \u201cBeing convincing is salesmanship. Being compelling means people are drawn to you.\u201d \u2013 Kevin Sterner
12. \u201cHow did you get here from there?\u201d Me, to Ron Martoia, after hearing him talk today and realizing he attended Trinity in the mid-90\u2019s.
13. My twitter account got hacked midway through day 2 of the conference. Spam Me sent my 261 followers some garbage link. I nearly cried when I saw what had happened.
14. \u201cWe dwell in the truth. We don\u2019t try to get it in deadlock.\u201d \u2013 Ben Arment
15. I would have welcomed a few more opportunities experience others\u2019 stories (short video vignettes of slice-of-life stories, artwork, a wall with graffittied praises, stories from other cultures?) as part of the mix.
16. It was a typical evangelical conference. And it wasn\u2019t anything<\/span> like a typical conference. Mostly the latter! Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to be there. Help me to use what I\u2019ve learned, seen, felt to encourage others and honor You.
17. Grateful, grateful, grateful.<\/p>\n

The fact that I could list so many quotes from the event (above) should tell you how much I enjoyed the event. I rarely take notes anywhere I go, but I took notes for two whole days. I didn\u2019t even take two whole days of notes during two years of full-time college.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
