A few bits of randomness this morning:
-When you leave a comment, you only need to fill in the web site field if you have a blog or personal web site that you’d like people to be able to visit when they click on your name. If you don’t have one, you can just leave it blank.
-Feel free to use whatever screen name you were previously using in the name field.
-Our old avatars (pictures) aren’t showing up here because WordPress does not recognize our Blogger/Google accounts. Several siestas have recommended going to Gravatar.com to get a free universally recognized avatar to use. I think we all miss seeing the beautiful faces next to the comments!
-Did you know that you can respond directly to another siesta’s comment by clicking “reply” underneath her comment? (Otherwise, you’ll just scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for the comment box.)
-Unfortunately, we lost the comments that were left on the blog over the weekend. I’m so sorry about that. Please feel free to type your comment again if you would like to.
-Did you know that Rich, our wonderful Living Proof Live photographer, and his wife just had their first baby? She was born a few days before the Toronto conference. (That’s why we didn’t have a recap video for that event.) Rich has promised to send me some pictures of Baby Polly to share on the blog. She is beautiful! In the meantime, please enjoy the Living Proof Live Tucson recap video. Thanks, Rich!
Amanda! Great job on the blog move. I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Your behind the scenes hard work has not gone unnoticed.
Hi Amanda love the video it is so awesome to see all those women worshipping the Lord.
Hope you all have a Blessed Easter.
Can’t wait to see some pictures from Easter
Love you all Carol
Using Gravitar was easy. I miss the pictures, too, but I like the new blog. We will all learn togther! We are used to the Siesta Mama making us learn new things!
Blessed… refreshed… and touched deeply with the truth that God comes to us personally and knows what we need ~ Worship of our LORD and Savior corporately and individually was amazing ~ I am so glad that I was able to come to the Tucson conference.
Thanks for posting the video!
In Christ,
Debra
I love the ability to comment on the post of another gal!! Wonderful improvement.
WOW! I wasn’t in Tucson, but when I watched this video I felt as if I had gotten a glimpse of heaven. Praise you, Jesus! And what a fabulous song, Travis!!!
Ha! Just saw that you posted right above me, OTHER Julie B! 🙂
Ok, gonna see if this gravatar thing works. Loved the video! I say that every time I watch one. It takes you right there and for a moment you re-live whatever conference you were at. Rich does such an amazing job! And congrats on the baby girl! Add another siesta to the roll!
just checking to see if this works
I was at the conference in Tucson this last weekend and i was so blessed by Beth and her teaching. She read an affirmation at the end of saturdays session that we had to repeat to a friend-that was a very powerful moment for me and my girlfriend. Do you think you can post it on here so i can get a copy of it?

Is Beth wearing cow print rubber boots in her new picture on the side bar???? If so those are FANTASTIC!! I have pink plaid ones that I love to find opportunities to wear out!
The reply thing is very cool. It will be so much easier to see a reply when it is right under the original comment. Someday someone may actually reply to me and I will be so excited!!
testing gravitar…
Thank you so much for coming to Tucson! This is a tough place do to ministry, so getting a shot in the arm from you was just what we needed. Thank you for the truths you revealed to my heart and to others. I hope you will come back again!
Is there anything more beautiful than a woman’s hand lifted high in the air? Always gets me – like a kneeling heart is a lifted hand. So wonderful to see women from other states – loving the LORD. Thanks Rich and Congrats!
Just testing the new blog comment method. LOVE the new design!
Thank you for the helpful instructions on how to leave a comment.
I’m trying to attach my gravatar.. help!
nevermind- it attached like magic!
Awwwww, I was just wondering what happen to Rich and his wonderful photo recaps. So happy that he has a new baby siesta! And as always, his pictures were stunning!
Thanks for the hints on the avatar…hope my face shows up on this!
And the pics of you and Melissa and Beth are adorable. I especially like that one of Beth. So very cute!
Melana
Thanks for all the tips 🙂
Took me a while to find you this evening. Looks great!
Blessed Easter walk to you all.

What a blessing LPL in Tucson was to so many women in our church. The comment I hear again and again is that they are still “chewing” on everything they heard. Praise God, and ME TOO! I have plowed into 1 Corinthians 15. The treasure! Beth, what we all love about you most I think is your deep, deep love for Christ and for the Word of God. It is infectious and inspired. You remind of us of how captivating and beautiful the Bible is and help to spur us on to not only fall in love with it, but fall deeper in love with it’s Author. Thank you for your faithfulness. There is a hum in our body of women. It’s fun to witness! And thanks too to Keith, and Amanda and Melissa and their hubbies for supporting you in this work. Their faithfulness is such an example. And the praise team and their families too, what a sacrifice of love and time. The Lord is being glorified. Just look at all of those raised hands in Rich’s super video! Woo hoo!

Love the new blog site.
HELP! – how do I get a Gravatar name with a space in it like I see some of you have. It tells me I can’t have a space or an underscore.
Thanks.
Yeah! I added my picture. OK ladies, if I can add my picture, all of us can do it. I really do miss seeing faces with comments. One never know when I may let you know that I think I know you from the LP blog.
Hey, I think the REPLY to another comment is a great feature!
And thank you for adding the PREVIEW button! 😀
I will try the gravatar suggestion also!
Well, how much fun is this?? Great job!
And huge congrats to Rich and his wife and their precious new baby. Can’t wait to see those beautiful pix! 😉

Just a bit of randomness…
Beth,
My Wednesday afternoon Ladies Bible Study is doing the Daniel study. Such cool stuff!! Anyway, I was just wondering if Keith ever saw the kingdom calendar on your hardwood floor??? Tooooo funny!!
Thanks for all your hard work preparing these studies. I certainly have my hands full with Daniel and SLI but it is so worth it.
Blessings to you and your family
just checking into the new site, lookin good
leaving another comment just to see if my gravatar will show up, thanks, GOD bless!
First time to comment hope it works!! Beth and you ladies have
blessed me beyond words. Thank You for spending time with the Lord to be able to give it away. I need all I can get!!
OH NO new site to learn. That deserves another cup of “insecurity”. Cheers all
Thanks for the tip about gravatar.com. It is easy, quick, and it works!
thanks so much for all of your hard work!! everything looks so great!
love the ‘contributor’ photos!
had dinner with some friends one night and one of them said with as straight a face as i’ve ever seen… “yeah…there’s this girl at my work that looks like an avatar.” so every time i see that word, i think of that story. 🙂
love ya’ll
Yay – I finally found your new blog site. I kept clicking on my old bookmark and it brought up a 404 error. Somehow I clicked around on that site enough to get to the new home page and find you.
Just wanted to check and see if my gravtar worked! I’m going to be an expert on the computer by the time I learn how to use all this new stuff! We just got new phones this afternoon and I’m struggling with learning how to download pictures from our computer to the phone!! I bet my 11 yr. old granddaughter could do it in a few seconds!!
This is only a test!! Ha ha
Just wanted to say how blessed I was to see the video recap of the conference in Tucson. I struggled with going and glad I went. I was blessed beyond belief and the ladies I went with really blessed me too. It’s awesome to be with 3500 other women praising and worshiping and hearing the word of God. God Bless you Beth and all the other people that make this ministry happen.
Watching the Tucson recap just brought me back to what an amazing experience this past weekend was for me! Thank you for coming and blessing Arizona! We were thirsty for some Holy Water, and you all brought it!
Everything you ladies and gentlemen do at LPM makes a difference in our lives. Thank you for touching mine!
Just want to see it my post goes. I like the new site.
Signed up for a gravatar. Hope it works!
I’m just checking to see how this is working. I’m up in the wee small hours thanking the Lord that He is always there to help me through the new “adventures” in my life. He is just so loving ~ no matter how much I’m hyperventilating; He just grabs me up and makes me feel loved.
God is doing great things this year!
We are truly blessed.
Thank you so much for the recap!!! I wept tears of joy and awe…O, to be able to see the expression on my Lord’s face as He looks down in the midst of our worship…as a group or individually, I know He must be delighted!
What an encouragement to know I am not alone in love with my Savior, but there are others like me– thirsting and hungering to know truth and seeing God satisfy our desire through opportunities such as this!
Heaven’s sounding sweeter all the time!!!
wanted my see if my name would appear on the comment section
I don’t know how it happens. I am flying high in my Jesus. I am confident in the Lord. Then a client fires me. I know I haven’t done anything wrong. I don’t deserve to be fired. It’s just one of those things. But my insecurities rear their ugly heads. My confidence sinks. I am trying to read, pray, confess. Suddenly, my spirit remembers who I am in Christ. I don’t need anyone’s approval. I have Jesus and that’s all I need. Jesus knew this client would fire me before the client ever hired me. He has my back. So long, Insecurities.
Thank you for the tips–very helpful. I love the new feature of being able to reply to specific comments!
That video made me cry. What powerful images!
Love the new blog site and Miss. Beth I’m also loving the cow print boots! I live in the beautiful, yet rainy Northwest and rainboots are considered a fashion accessory. Bless you all in the transition.
This song never gets old for me, I love to sing it!:) The video if very moving. I love seeing the different faces of the women and the young ones! Love them:)
