That's me. I'm on Wisconsin.

I'm up here at Elmbrook's women's leadership conference. I spoke three times today, and while I loved doing it, at the moment I have the stamina of wet spaghetti. I had a ticket to hear Donald Miller (Blue Like Jazz) tonight, but I blew it off to keep talking with two of my fave authors, Carolyn Custis James and Sarah Sumner. The three of us ended up sitting together at a speaker's dinner tonight, and we kept going well after everyone else had left. It was a rich time. Forget celebrities. Give me thinking women!

Picture this. Three women theologians. Two of them adoptive mothers of only-children daughters. The other preparing to adopt a daughter. All three working in the academic world. All three authors. I could not have planned it better if I'd tried!
