I received word today that I’ve been invited to teach a class at the 2011 Tulsa Workshop along with my friend Lynn Stringfellow … sounds like fun.
Dates are March 23-26, 2011.
The guy who wrote this probably won’t be there, but will you?

Nothing Else Matters – a Poem by Aaron Farnsworth
Aaron Farnsworth – a member of CIA Tampa (the campus ministry serving The University of South Florida) – handed me a piece of paper on the second day of the Cocoa Beach Retreat last weekend.
Here’s what was on it:
Nothing Else Matters
by Aaron Farnsworth
Nothing else matters …
The sound of a footstep dies in its stride,
And its proud print washes away with the tide.Nothing else matters …
The violin has the charm of its lovely tone,
But the player goes home when the concert is done.Nothing else matters …
The philosopher’s pen resounds through the age,
Yet is silenced by the turning of a page.Nothing else matters …
When the LORD set foot upon the earth,
His print was the dawn of a spiritual birth,
His music contained everlasting mirth,
The words on His page are of infinite worth.Nothing else matters!
He’s right you know. 🙂
2010 Cocoa Beach Retreat: “Loco in Cocoa” Audio
I arrived home late last night after spending a fun couple of days teaching 120 excited college students in Cocoa Beach, FL.
The lessons presented centered around the theme of maximizing our impact for Christ.
As promised, here is the audio and related materials from the 2010 Cocoa Beach Retreat:
- Wes Woodell – Maximum Impact: Defining Moments (50:42) PowerPoint; Video 1
- Wes Woodell – Maximum Impact: Greatest Commands pt. 1 (64:31) PowerPoint; Handout; Video 2
- Wes Woodell – Maximum Impact: Greatest Commands pt. 2 (73:45) PowerPoint
This weekend was a blessing to me … very encouraging. Before leaving Saturday afternoon, I had the privilege of witnessing one of the students being baptized in the ocean … what a great note to end on. 🙂
Florida has a very active campus ministry community. What a blessing it has been and is continuing to be!
