I still haven’t recovered from my week of travel and conferencing, and I’m a little busy today. I also have a dentist appointment this morning. Since I promised more on Together for the Gospel 2008, and I don’t have time to really think about it, I give you —

Things I didn’t like about Together for the Gospel 2008:

• Too much packed into one day. It would have been nice to have had more time for fellowship. The same conference spread over four days instead of three would have been nice — and far less exhausting.
• I registered too late to get a room in the hotel I would have preferred, causing some inconvenience. The conference organizers should have warned me. I blame Mark Dever.
• I ate too much on Tuesday. Phil Johnson sat next to me eating nothing but a salad — with an air of superiority, I might add — and I was compensating for him.
• The books were too heavy. All those ushers in their nifty vests should have been assigned to carry them to our cars or hotel rooms for us.
• I had John MacArthur sign The Gospel According to Jesus and spoke briefly with him. He didn’t ask to join me for lunch.
• I had an argument with my wife. Clearly, someone was quenching the Spirit. I think it was Mahaney.
• Louisville is too far away. I propose the conference be moved to Bismarck, North Dakota for 2010. Seriously, can you think of a more central location for the US and Canada? I didn’t think so.
• 1200 miles, one way. $3.59/gallon gas. 14 miles/gallon.
• We had drinks at the Galt House on Thursday evening. Two drinks, $13.00. T4G should have arranged discounts in the hotel bar. This, no doubt, is Mohler’s fault.
• T4G. I despise the internet shorthand that spawned this. I despise the fact that I have stooped to using this abbreviation myself a few times. How difficult is it to type out Together for the Gospel? Not difficult at all, IMHO, LOL.
