Summit VI – End of day 1

Posted by Patrick Corkum on April 29, 2010

So I am back at my hotel after day one of Summit VI. It was an excellent, yet emotionally draining day. I met some awesome people with big hearts for God and kids. It is weird telling people what you’re up to and not have to explain why you’re not crazy… they all get it. It’s especially awesome because so many of these people are celebrities to me. Most people have been caught up in the celebrities of Hollywood, but I’ve spent the last year listening to these people speak on the radio and in recordings. They’ve caught my attention and inspired me over the past year…. so I’m a little star struck.

In the closing general session of the day, MaryBeth Chapman spoke, followed by a question-answer session with her and her husband, Steven Curtis Chapman. Then she got off stage and Stephen performed a short set for us, which was pretty cool. My favorite part of it was probably missed by most people, but when he got up on the stage to do the Q&A, he sat in the chair next to her, realized he was much too far away from her and scooted nice and close to her… mad me think of what I wish I was doing with Melissa (sadly she is not with me).Marybeth also shared a little secret about her adopted daughter Stevie Joy. She is going to be in a veggie tales Christmas special about adoption. Marybeth hopes that she will be portrayed as a Chinese cabbage .

Can’t wait until tomorrow!
