Jen's MOPs Convention

Last year, MOPs International (Mothers of Preschoolers) invited Gary Chapman to again make a presentation at their annual convention. This time, he declined but kindly suggested that they invite me. I agreed, made my plans to travel to Nashville, lined up the Thomases to hold down the fort (thank you Gamma Beth and Pa!), and made the trip. I enjoyed participating in their conference at Opryland. I gave two talks about The Five Languages of Apology . It was a great experience for me and a nice little breather from changing diapers and wiping up things at home.

Dad's Book Quote for Me

My Dad left me a nice voice message with a tale about my book:

"Jen, I wanted to tell you a story. Last night I was at the Child Evangelism Fellowship. They were talking about The Five Love Languages. Somebody said, "Oh. Gary Chapman has a new book out now. It's The Five Languages of Apology. It's wonderful!" I said, "I know the co-author of that. She's my daughter!" They said, "Woah!" (Mom and Dad chortling in the background). Anyway, give us a call back when it's convenient. We love you. Bye bye."
