a few more years shall roll

patty griffin does, at least. i’m starting my weekend early tonight by going to see patty perform an in store show at border’s downtown. her new album just came out, so she’s supposed to be playing songs in support of that. i’ve seen her perform before and she blows me away, so i’m interested to see her in a smaller venue, with a few less frills.
i’ll post my thoughts tomorrow or next week . . .

the rest of the weekend is full up, as well. my church is hosting its annual Philadelphia Conference on Reformation Theology. The topic this year is Forgiveness and the speakers include Jerry Bridges, Sinclair Ferguson, Michael Horton, Rick Phillips, and Philip Ryken. As part of the church choir, I get to go for free because we participate in the music Friday night, and do a sacred concert Saturday night before the evening session. I’ve gone to these conferences fairly regularly since college (with a break while I lived in NC), and have always been incredibly blessed. It’s always a time of rich teaching, warm fellowship, and great hymn singing. My first conference back in 1992, I think, included JI Packer and John Gerstner (who was fine until his last sermon on the “50 reasons why I am a Calvinist”–that is up there as perhaps the worst thing to pass for a sermon in Tenth’s pulpit that I ever heard).

And, I just realized that I switched from no caps to proper capitilization somewhere in the midst of that post . . . my English teacher ways are popping out all over.
