Yesterday, our group from my church returned from the Orange Conference 2010 in Atlanta, GA. I intend to write quite a few times in the near future about my observations and musings, but I thought I would start light.
The following is the entirety of my Tweet stream for the conference, with the exception of my @ replies and a couple of double posts. Also, for those who might be inclined to follow my wife, her handle is now @jamywellman. Enjoy…
We’re off. #Orange10
