This weekend a friend and I went to Redmond for a Beth Moore conference. What an excellent time of worship and teaching. Michelle used Priceline.com and found us a great hotel. The Lord worked it out that our hotel ( Red Lion) was directly across the street from the Sheraton where her friends were staying. The tickets for Beth Moore’s conference sold out so fast (I believe 5000 people attended this weekend) that there were only a few from our church.
I took some pictures of our hotel room and then promptly ran out of batteries. Argh! This first afternoon. The first hour. Rats. Who knew that we would go on to have a series of adventures – some of which DEFINITELY should have been documented on film. I did get a picture of Michelle making phone calls (we spent a LOT of time connecting with people via various phones).
Thanks so much, Michelle! You were a wonderful retreat partner!
I also managed to get some pictures of our room (too crowded with our messy stuff) and bed. This bed, by the way, was the most comfortable bed I think I have EVER slept in. Michelle and I were both amazed at how wonderful the mattress was (and that’s not just the sleep deprived side of us talking). Literally I am going to call the hotel and ask them what kind of mattress they have in room 219. It was unbelievably comfy.
Ah, a bed fit for princesses – where’s that pea?
I am WAY too tired to write any more about the conference right now. The seating was general admission so we had to be at the church quite early in order to sit on the main floor. I do NOT think you should have a 5 am wake up call (which came at 4:45 am!!!) on a Saturday morning – especially when you are sleeping in the most plush, soft bed ever.
I’ll try to blog more later.

Hi, Katherine. I’m VERY interested in your notes, impressions, and inspirations from the B. Moore conference. I’ve been to several- never spent the night, since they were right in my town. But as you know, I love her teaching.
Have fun with Mamie. I love YOU. Hug her for me, please.

What a fun girls get away. Isn’t Beth Moore great! She has so much practical wisdom. Also, I know what you mean about a perfect nights sleep. The first time we went to VEgas we stayed at The Venetian . . .the beds there were FANTASTIC! I literally wanted to take it home with me. I never thought to ask the hotel what kind of mattress it was.
