Molly and I are flying to Phoenix for the 2011 Together for Adoption Conference tomorrow morning, Lord-willing and the winds die down. I know many of you can't go but are interested in following along. So I encourage you to stick around for live-blogging here at Reformissionary. Follow me on Twitter for a lot of instant updates and pics and who knows what else. I also encourage you to follow other featured bloggers at T4A for a wide variety of experiences of and discussions about the conference. The official hashtag for all the stuff on Twitter is #t4aCon and official conference twitter account is @t4aCon.
You'll hear about a ton of different breakout sessions from different bloggers as well as these top-notch general sessions. You won't want to miss what these guys are saying...

GIVEAWAY
Ok, so for those of you who can't go, I'm doing another giveaway of 5 copies of Reclaiming Adoption: Missional Living Through the Rediscovery of Abba Father (edited & written in part by Dan Cruver). I love the book, and I want to get it in your hands. So, here's how you can enter for a chance at one of the copies. All three steps are required, and easy.
1. "LIKE" the T4A Facebook page.2. TWEET (and/or post on Facebook wall), without the quote marks: " Win a FREE copy of Reclaiming Adoption! RT this & comment at Reformissionary to win: http://bit.ly/nW95S8 #t4aCon "3. COMMENT BELOW (so I can verify you did steps 1 & 2). Include your full name and real email address (kept private) so I can contact the winners.
For fun, and since the World Series begins tonight, share your World Series winner in your comment. Texas Rangers or the St. Louis Cardinals? Also feel free to give your predictions on how many games it will take to win (sports SINthusiast Joe Thorn, just tell us your favorite color). I'm calling it for the Rangers in 5.
I will randomly choose 5 winners on Saturday, the last day of the Together for Adoption 2011 Conference.
Done! Thanks for this.

Thank you!
St. Louis Cardinals!

All is complete! I want the Rangers to win in seven games, down to the last pitch. But last night I found myself cheering for whoever was at bat.
Praying for your family,
Paul

Thanks for the opportunity to win! After the first 17.5 innings, I would have said Cardinals in 5, but now I'm going back to Rangers in 6.

Rangers in 6 ( this prediction will get me in trouble seeing that my wife and her entire family are cardinals )

Got it all done. Now lets get a free book.

I just did all that was asked of me. Rangers... not a big baseball fan... wish I was... I do like westerns though, and the Texas Rangers are prominent in those. Thanks for the opportunity to win the book, even if I don't get it!
