I loved sitting and just chatting with our InScribe family members. I too hope we can meet in person one of these days. Ok, you're on my bucket list of people I have to meet. Get ready for a hug, Vickie. :)Alan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192838076987472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-872538353063520162019-10-26T09:08:20.749-07:002019-10-26T09:08:20.749-07:00It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the con...It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the conference and hitting those things on your bucket list proved very gratifying as well.

I, too, find that I don't get around to meeting everyone. I so enjoyed your workshop and came away with one of the highlights to remember--and I had only a couple minutes to visit with you, Thanks for summing up by saying how as a community we've been ministered to so we can minister to others.

I usually have no problem with it, but we ended up going around and around the traffic circle until we finally figured it out (without the navigation). Anyway, Alan, I was so, so pleased to finally meet you in person. Best part of the conference is making those connections. :) Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152041464509649277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-22941279120790315402019-10-22T10:29:44.237-07:002019-10-22T10:29:44.237-07:00Alan,

I always loved meeting the ones I read and correspond with online and folks who were brand new to me, but immediate friends.<br /><br />Connie Inglis in one of her devotionals referred to our Fellowscript as a “koinonia," a term I also referred to in a FellowScript column a while back. Just now, I found the following explanation of the word online: "The importance of true Christian fellowship, koinonia, is that it helps us to focus on Christ and His desires and goals for us. True Christian fellowship sharpens one another's faith and stirs us to exercise that faith in love and good works, all to God's glory.” In the case of InScribe, I believe our main goal for "good works" is to share our faith through our writing. Interacting in real time at a conference furthers our cause.<br /><br />Due to caregiving my husband, attending FC wasn’t feasible, but I believe I was there in spirit.
