Attending Campus Crusade's Midsouth Conference...

It's the first time I have ever attended a Christian conference where twitter was being used so much during the conference. Usually I don't equate twitter with a Christian conference, but Campus Crusade's midsouth conference is certainly an exception. From the beginning of the conference to the end, participants were tweeting all kind of stuff all the time.
