Airport Sightings and Divine Blessings!
Siestas, I have to talk fast! I am at the Houston airport and just about to board but I have had the best airport morning and I have to let you in on it! God is so incredibly fun. Last night my poor overworked, post-op, back-injured body didn't know how it was going to make it to IAH this morning. My spirit was so excited to go to Tucson but my flesh was feeling weak. When my alarm went off way too early this morning, I was kinda like, "OK, God, You better do this! Let's go to Tucson!" and I felt that surge of supernatural energy. I felt joy in my soul and excitement over the Word I believe He's giving us this weekend. It was time to go forward in obedience and put one foot in front of the other.
THEN, Michelle and I got to the airport and, for this consummate people-watcher, it was blessings all mine and ten thousand beside! I saw a group of Wildcats from Kentucky. I saw a missions group from Honduras. (I didn't get to talk to any of these folks. I just enjoyed the heck out of seeing them.)
THEN...THEN....THEN...I was on the tram going to "C" terminal because our "B" terminal from which we are flying doesn't have a Starbucks behind security. (I know. TMI. I'm trying to hurry here.) AND, lo and behold, I looked right next to me and my eyes nearly bugged out of my head. I tried to contain myself but finally gave way to a Fan-Attack. "Sir," I said. "I am so sorry to bother you but are you one of the Duck Commanders?" (He had on his black glasses and camo and everything.) He took off his glasses, smiled in the cutest way a man with all that hair on his face could possible smile, and said, "Yes." As I live and breathe, it was Willie Robertson. (You'll have to Google it if you are out of the duck hunting loop which I suppose a few of you are.)
And YES I DID get off that tram and ask if I could have my picture taken with him. YES, YOU BET I DID. Then I texted it to my husband who has never loved me this much in our entire marriage.
I love Tucson already! Praise You, Lord! A deposit on what is to come!
P.S. And now this??? Too much!

This made my whole day. I cannot wait to show P! You are going to be his new hero.
This is the cutest thing I have ever heard, and pretty much exactly what would happen if I ran into you at an airport! :) So cool how a God serious enough to pursue us, fling this earth in existence, send his son to die in the cross for our lives, yet, even in our times of weakness provide a moment of laughter, fun, and enjoyment in the simplest things!
I am praying for you daily. God is overwhelming relentless, right?
Love you
Devin
Beth, you are so cute! That is hilarious!
This totally made my day!! I didn't think I could love you any more or you could BE any more adorable and then you do this!
You rock!
Nikki
i'd LOVE to know what was going through HIS mind when this petite blonde knows who HE is!! LOVE. IT. Anyone got a razor?
You crack me up! I saw Amanda's twitter update and was totally confused. But now I get it!
Fly safe, praying for you, can't wait to see you tonight!
Joanne
P.S. You're having a great hair day!
I have no idea who Willie Robertson is, but this made me laugh out loud!! You are so funny!
P.S. Just laughing to think how many hits Google will have for "Duck Commander" today...
Big Mama! I thought of you every second and told Michelle "Melanie will flip!" One day together!
Well - I had to Google it to get the point of the post. Now I understand.
Good for you Beth.
God Bless!
Myriam
You make me smile!
I never thought I'd have to say this but, my word, his hair is almost higher than yours!
Key word: almost.

Hilarious! I did google him and laughed as I read about him. You're the cutest.
You're right -- some of us are out of the duck hunting loop. Imagine that :) Glad you're having fun!
Only you, Beth!
Now may the blessings keep pouring!!!
I'm laughing my head off! I will have to share this with my son. Duck Commanders just got some new fans, I'm sure!
Thank you so much for this update! It made me smile and laugh out loud! I used to live in Houston and I miss it dearly, so even a glimpse of the airport in the background was heartwarming for me this morning!
Maureen
I was just thinking that if I saw you in an airport I would want to just walk up and start talking to you because I feel like I know you so well! And yet I would be a total stranger. That must happen to you,though,because so many of us have sat under your teaching for years. I guess it seems like you know us,too.
I can't spell so here is try 2. Mine would be as proud for Primos of a Bone Collector ( or anyone who hunts on live tv). Imagine the women in his life will be pretty stoked as well!
Never heard of duck commanders...gasp! But now you know how we siestas feel when we get a chance meeting with you!!!
Praying for Tucson and blessings to all!
Kelli
You make me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! (And I needed that this morning!)
Blessings to you, my sister!
He is SO cute! I love a man with a beard ;)
Aww, that makes me smile. you are too funny lady:)
I love it! I'm with Devin, this is exactly how I would be if I saw you. I would just not be brave enough to ask you to pose with me for a picture... I know your husband thinks you ROCK!
Actually, upon second glance, is that hair in the back actually hair or is it residual beard growth? I was just assuming it was his hair and, judging by the width of it, I naturally assumed that, should his hat be removed, there would be an overflow of hair. Now I'm not so certain. Perhaps you're not in danger of being out-heighted by a duck hunter? One can only hope.
You are so cute!! Love it!
I have no idea who the Duck Commanders are, but I just want to say that Beth, you have the cutest outfits!
Oh my, my hubby would have DIED to be there!!!
have a blessed trip <3
what a wonderful way to start your day! i pray that God gives you a safe trip there and that he fills you with renewed energy, focus, and heavenly power as you go forth to minister. blessings to you, beth!
and btw, your hair looks fabulous for being up and at the airport first thing!
Beth, You "Quack" me up! Be safe and rest in the Lord this weekend.
In His Grip, Mary
Totally googled Willie. Duck hunters who preach on the side? How awesome is that?! Have a wonderful trip. I pray that God's glory would be revealed to everyone there! Much love to you.
HaHaHa-thanks for the laughs! That's great!
BTW-I'm from Ky so GO WILDCATS!!!
Love you Beth and all you and your ministry do.
I can't wait to call Melanie. We will talk about this all weekend. Can y'all PLEASE get P and Keith in the same place just so I can hear the stories? :-)
That is hilarious!! You are so funny! I bet Keith blows up that photo and frames it!
Love it!
Kathy
That is so awesome!! I'm sure that Keith does love you more now (I think that I do too). I bet that he didn't know what to think haveing this beautiful lady ask to have her picture made with him. This is tooo funny!!
I am sure my husband knows who this is as an avid bird and game hunter, but I haven't heard of him. You are a much better wife than I am. I can't sit and watch those hunting and fishing shows reall long. What a good woman! I'll send this to my husband. It will make his day!!
I hope the Lord blesses your socks off in Touscon and I am praying for your physical strength. We pray for you every Tuesday in our leaders meeting before our study, so honored to do so.
Oh my, my husband LOVES them. We have EVERY episode DVR'd and he talks about them all the time...this might cause HIM to be a Beth Moore fan.
No clue who the duck commanders are, but it's a great story and cute picture anyway.
And, since you mentioned them first--GO 'CATS!!! (My hubby went to UK; the enthusiasm rubbed off a little.)
Tooooooooo funny! I love it!
I am glad you have "fan-attacks" too.....:) It just kind of takes over you when it comes......like when I got my picture with you at the Houston memory celebration!
Love you and praying for you!
Eleanor
Memphis, TN
Oh my sweet Beth-
You make my heart sing. I know how proud Mr. Keith must be of you...not only for KNOWING WHO HE WAS, but for REQUESTING A PICTURE WITH HIM!!!! I love it! I am praying God's hand upon you this weekend and abundant blessings for all in attendance!
Love you,
Andrea
Oh that is hilarious! I have no clue who that mountain man is but might, just might google it! And I bet he probably had no clue as to who you are..that is unless he has a wife who is a christian because, frankly, I don't know a woman out there in our world of Jesus lovers who does not know who you are.
Loving you to pieces today :)
I was supposed to be there in Tuscon to see you with my friend Jammie but since we got to be together in January there in Houston, I had to pass. Besides, I did just see her here in CA 2 weeks ago...so all is good :)
Have a great weekend Bethie! I'm praying for you.
I love it! Bet you made the Commander's day as well!
Just goes to show that we never know what our Lord might have in store for the day ... no matter how hard it is to get out of bed in the morning!

Beth,
So funny! I am getting ready for the drive to Tucson to see you...I can't wait! If I ever got the blessing to meet you up close, I'll be just as giddy! Looking forward to a word tonight!
Love ya!
Tanya- Sierra Vista, AZ
I'm trying so hard not to laugh out loud here at my desk at work! Oh, that is exactly what I would have done if I were to see you; although I would have known it was you, ran up to you, given you a hug and said, "Mama Beth! It's me! A siesta on her way to being secure!"
Beth, I love that you are such a girly girl and yet you recognize a Duck Commander!
Priceless!
I love you Beth!
Mary
Marshfield WI
I just love that God gave you an insight on how all of us feel when we see you! I read so many Christian blogs (mine incl!) that always start out with a phrase like "Ok, I'm not a stalker, but I feel like I know her..." when they talk about you. I know what you mean when you say "my husband who has never loved me this much in our entire marriage." I'm so glad you guys can share duck hunting with each other!
I now have a whole new understanding of "and the two shall become one flesh" LOL!!!!
DUDE! I needed that laugh! You look hilarious next to each other! Your perfectly cute ironed hair next to his beard! Ha ha ha ha ha. And that's how excited I'll be whenever it is the Lord allows me to meet you. But expect lotsa tears, too! Happy ones. ;) I love you!
Beth, you crack me up! Have no clue who the dude is but love that you did and you jumped on a photo op to impress the heck out of your husband. I'll bet he's got it framed by the time you get home! Maybe with a duck posing beside it. LOL!! No one can ever tell me that God doesn't have a sense of humor, or that He doesn't care about what we care about. He does. He gave you a chance meeting with Willie Robertson on a morning you had a hard time getting going! Have a great weekend and may God continue to give you strength, joy and lots of laughs.
~Lonna
Wow, you were up early! Thanks for the smile, facing some hard things and that really helped!! Praying for you today.......
Love, karen
Thanks to you and your girls for making us part of your life. Someday when I'm visiting my mom in Luling, TX, Ms. Beth is going to have to stop on her way to her husbands hide out and get something at the gas station there and I'll get my picture taken with her!
What a great laugh to start my day reading this post. He looks like a really nice guy and probably was honored to have his pic taken with such a radiant lady!
Now, since I live in Knoxville and our BIG ORANGE VOLS are in the ELITE EIGHT for the first time ever..........well........I just wish you would have sang a round of Rocky Top for those guys donning the Wildcats on their gear!! I'm just saying.....GO VOLS!!
ps- sorry, just had to get in a little PR for my team, I hope it didn't offend any Siestas in KY!
I just wanted to say I am so very Blessed by your blog! You and your daughters are such neat women. I crave the REAL that ya'll are and pray for it daily in all the women in my church! Thank you so much for all the work you're doing in the Lord, even when it's just stopping a duck guy and getting a picture to share with us! ;)
Okay, I LOVE the duck commander and his boys (not that I have ever met them)!!!! If you take a look at my blog, you would NEVER EVER think that I would say that, but my husband is a duck hunter, we have gotten SUPER into the show, and my parents live practically down the road from the duck commander!!! Too funny! I'm e-mailing this post's link to my husband right now!!!
Just finished Daniel...incredible!!!!!!
Hope everything else this weekend is just ducky!!!
Oh leave it to Arizona LOL.
I live in the Phoenix area and we see a lot of that. LMBO.
How funny! Yes, I had to google it. Never heard of that. Learn somethin' new every day!
I guess I must be running in the wrong circles to not have heard of the Duck Commanders, so yes, I did have to google it.
I loved the pic!! Now I don't feel so embarassed at all the excitement I felt when you posed for a picture with me in Toronto!!
I pray that God will reveal Himself in amazing ways this weekend and that He'll give you an energizing filling of His Spirit!!
Judi ~ Canada
This is so darn cute..you just give my spirit lift. Good travel and may God rock Tucson!
you are too funny!
Beth, you crack me up! Something I would have done also. Ok so I had to google to find out about the duckmen.
Love you, thanks for sharing with us.
You are too precious!
Have a great time in Tucson!
Love you!
It made my day that I'm not the only one who would get my picture taken with a Duck Commander if I saw them. My husband will LOVE this! Thanks for making me smile.
Beth, when you show us your completely spontaneous side, we just can't help but love you Moore :) I flew to Houston for a family wedding a few yrs ago. I told Julie, a friend of yours, that I hoped I'd run into you at the airport. She just shook her head and said, "You know it's people like you who scare Beth." Oh I hope not! We love you so.
But you may be relieved to know that as I learned one of God's names in your Patriarch's study: El Bethel, I believe God layed it on my heart to never seek the Beth of God, but ever only seek the God of the Beth of God. Confused? Thank you God for not minding my odd sense of humor
Love and prayers to you & Tucson!
You go girl! Prayers being lifted in South Carolina for you! May the glory of the Lord rest upon you this weekend.
Blessings,
Happy Heart
Psalm 27
PS Your post brought tears to my eyes this morning!
OK this cracks me up!!!!!!! I grew up w/ him (his family, wives, and kin folk)...his daughter was our flower girl. So, you being "star struck" by him makes me laugh SO SO SO SO hard!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
You totally crack me up! Were I in an airport and riding in a tram beside YOU I would have done the same thing! I had fan jitters just meeting you in Nashville!
I love Jesus Kisses like that!
Love it! That is so great! I'm getting a kick out of imagining Keith when he got your text! :)
BETH!!!! I'm heading out on a road trip to Tucson in 4 hours and 24 minutes (counting down) with some girlfriends to see you in Tucson tonight! Would love to talk to you in person, but will settle for heaven if I have to! Thanks for coming to AZ! Love you, Siesta Mama! :)
You totally crack me up! Congrats to you though on meeting one of your husbands "heroes."
YOU ARE HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing...and you're right, I don't know who he is(my hubby mostly bow hunts deer, elk, etc)...doesn't really matter...it still made my day!!
This has made my dreary day so fun and made me laugh. I cannot even imagine how many brownie points you have scored with your husband....Yeah! Praying you through the weekend.
Praying for your strength this morning for the weekend in store. Glad it got off to a good/unusual start. God bless you.
Deidra
Beth your hair looks fabulous!!
Safe travel Beth and Michelle - I live in PHoenix and I sure wish I could join you in Tuscon, (about 1.5 hours away), but being an accountant, I need to stay focused on the work God has graciously provided for me. I love y'all and am so enjoying SLI and the blogs when I sneak time to read them!
GO GOD and Bless Arizona Women this weekend!!
BEST. PICTURE. EVER.
Neither my husband or I are up on the Duck Commanders, but you are hilarious! I imagine your husband has never loved you more....and I imagine from your descriptions that Michelle's response was classic.
Have a great weekend....
I don't watch Duck Commander but when I first saw the picture I thought it was one of the guys from K & B Construction in the TV show Home Improvement...the ones that used their tools to cook grilled cheese sandwiches and make kabobs.

You are hysterical! My man would be proud if I found a pro fisherman to photo with as well. :)
Thank you for putting a smile on my face this morning! I really needed that pick-me-up. That is so cute!
Hilarious!!!!!!!!!
Beth, I'm so excited to have you come to Tucson. My 16 year old daughter is coming to the conference with me!!! I am looking forward to what God has for us this weekend and I'm praying blessings for all the team! Don't you love how sweet God is to let you have so much fun in an airport! No telling what He'll do the rest of the weekend!
Sandy

I must be desperate for sappy stories, because I am on the verge of tears. How much fun is God!
Do you have any idea at all how much a joy you are and how much joy you share?!!!! It's Texas size.
What a fun surprise for Keith! I actually found out I am getting a present and it has to do with you...an autographed copy of So Long Insecurity!!!!! PTL - HE KNEW what would get me.
BTW - I love how you spoke on obedience in putting one foot in front of the other. My Pastor spoke last night on that, "Jesus is bidding us to come die," as in do you fear the LORD? That frees us and do we truly want fellowship - we share in HIS sufferings, but rejoice (ACTS)
I love when you are transparent and I can see your realness, but feel you fire for the LORD.
Love you,
SIESTA OC
PS: I am contemplating biting the bullet and getting some heavy highlights :)
I'm laughing out loud and trying to keep it reasonably quiet as I'm at work. Again, I just say you are too funny for words.
I'm thinking that should be enlarged and put on the next cover of your book or something!
He looks a little scared, though. :)
Oh and the hunting thing - SO LOST ON ME - but I love that it was big for you and MR. Moore!
Siesta Mama, you make me smile (thanks!) :)
Duck hunting? I guess I missed the memo that you were into that. :)
Will pray for the supernatural energy and strength to continue for the wonderful Tuscon weekend! :)
Priceless, Beth Moore! You are too cute!!! I don't know who the hairy guy is in the picture... but God knows who and how He can give us the biggest kind of unexpected thrill. I am so glad you got yours today!
Sharon
Montgomery, AL
How funny! My husband is an airline pilot...I'm often hearing stories of folks he's seen. If a pilot should ever ask to have his picture taken with YOU I hope you will oblige him because he will sending it to me in a text with the same enthusiasm!
I have to share this....I just completed my Esther study this morning. Fantastic! But here's the story. I was out eating with one of my boys and a couple of moms and their young kids were also there. As one was leaving and got near the door she turned around and called out, "Bye (mom's name), Bye HAMAN!" I almost spewed food from my mouth. She likely HAD NO clue, but to me it was like hearing a child named Hitler!!!! Made me wish I had researched my own kids names before choosing them. Made me chuckle and scratch my head.
Hope it's as pretty where each of you are as it is here where I am today. Blessings!
I've never heard of Duck Commanders, but that picture is great! I bet he's online right now Googling Beth Moore.
If you see this, Duck Commanders, hello from Siestaville!
Anne
My mom's thrill came in the form of a large Wendy's frosty yesterday! Her sweet groom of 55 years came home feebly bend over scufflingly up the the stairs carrying her one. When he walked in with it she said, "Ah, he's bringing me my anniversary gift." They were both so blooming cute! Simple.... but just right! Perfect! Gotta love it! A frosty, who would have "thunk" it!
I think it was cute about the Duke Commander. But I honestly was doing more of a happy dance in my office about the fact that you were leaving one area of the airport to go to another for Starbucks coffee... Now I think I'm beginning to feel like one of the girls :O)
You are just too much!!! Your people watching skills have paid off!
YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!
Have a blast in Tucson!
Warm in Alaska.
Beth-
ha-ha- I too am a people watcher, and airports are one of the best places. anyway-----
YEAH--GO BIG BLUE! I'm from KY ;0)
and a duck commander...no, I don't know those but my childs ty-kown-do instructor sure will. I am tickled pink that you are like the rest of us when you see someone like that you know. Sort of reminds me of the time I met Donny Osmond. OH MY WORD, that was a thrill I will NEVER forget. Praise the Lord!!
Enjoy your trip, have been praying for y'all for this event.
Neat Story. Keith may have the photo in a duck frame by the time you get home. I guess by now you have noticed that the sign behind your hair has the words 'Houston is Big'. Thanks for the laughs.
YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!
Have a blast in Tucson!
(Yikes - almost forgot: MY husband will be so proud of you, too.
...have you any idea how many men you have deeply impressed this morning???)
Warm in Alaska.
Wow how amazing! My husband would be totally jealous of you!!
As you suppose "a few of you are." (Giggle) Dear Beth, I bet if you took a poll, MOST of us are out of the "duck hunting loop." You Texans... Oh, you're a stitch!
Too cute! Did you tell him who you were? The most gifted woman bible teacher of the modern age?>
After meeting this fabulous duck hunter, did you still find time to get your Starbucks before take-off? :)
You gave me a great laugh this morning! God is so gracious...even in an airport early in the morning, He still finds time to reach down from Heaven and give us gifts that are uniquely suited to us. I love it!
What did Keith say?
Prayers and blessings in Tucson!
Beth - you are precious!
I seriously have NO idea what you are talking about, other than I think it has something to do with ducks=) but what a cute picture, and so nice of you to share with your darling husband. I'm sure he was over the moon!!! (still having NO idea who this man is =)
Have a Super Blessed weekend in Tucson,
Petrii
Having gone through many of your studies and read your books I know without a doubt that you will roll your eyes and say, "Honey there is now way on earth you could have been more confused." as you read the next sentence. I am thankful that God has once again reminded me that you are not supernatural, that while you are a child of God, and annointed by His Grace you are not able to walk on water.(unless you are carried in the arms of our Lord)
I was thrilled to read about your airport sightings and about your reaction.
I am from Kentucky and yes, I do bleed blue. Sorry that I don't know who the hunting celebrity that you noticed was but I certainly know the Wildcat family from Kentucky, we are as thick as thieves.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

My husband thinks you are VERY COOL!!!
I have actually watched the show...not because wanted to though!
God bless your Living Proof Event!
Beth, You are amazing! I can always look to you to make me laugh when I need to! I just love your book. Thank you for writing it. I'm also reading Believe God at the same time. You are a blessing!
My hubby does not hunt, so I don't have a clue who this man is. But you are sure excited, so he must be an amazing man. I'll have to google him. Praying for a wonderful trip to Arizona. Can't wait to see you in Atlanta. Love & blessings from NC!
That makes me so happy...on this day, when I'm sad (our worship leader is being buried today--I hate typing that).
I love you Beth and am praying for God's supernatural energy and strength and a thousand blessings beside.
That is the sweetest thing ever! I'm so delighted in your delight!
Tiffany
Hi Beth,
That is so stinkin' funny! I think you are probably above average on the "girliness" scale than his typical fan! LOL!
And I have to say you look adorable as ever. I love your outfit!
Praying for a wonderful showing of the Spirit and an annointed word for every lady, and security guard (grin) there in Tucson this weekend. I hope you get to see Joanne (the Simple Wife) and her daughter with the adorable hot pink hair...
Love and hugs,
♥ ♥ Adrienne ♥ ♥
How fun! Thanks for sharing, so encouraging too!
How adorable! I wonder if he thought "but, are you...Beth Moore??!!!???" LOL.
After Esther, I've been able to fly on airplanes now, (re: session four!) and I'm always looking to see if you are on the plane! LOL
jeanette from www.sweetjeanette.com
Beth you are amazing!!! Thanks for all you do for the Lord and your hubby! I would do the same for Starbucks, glad I'm not the only one:)
Well I just wonder if that Duck Commander knew what a big celebrity gal he got to be in a photograph with! I'd never heard of him, but Googled him and found out they travel and speak for Jesus, too. Wooo hooo! I'm so glad you keep us well-roundedly informed, Beth. I mean after Bon Qui Qui, now this? I feel I am getting a PHD of global proportions on this blog. lol!
Praying for you in Houston, my sister is there with a friend who needs a WORD today.
I wonder how many times "Duck Commander" will be Googled today! Thanks that was fun! Blessing for this weekend.
Hilarious!!! (It's little wonder why Keith Moore loves you so much.) Praying for you this weekend and those blessed to attend!
Hysterical! And Yes I had to google it ;)
THAT is sooo cool! I had to text my man and tell him about it right away. We watch them too - they are a HOOT! Have a great weekend!
How cute are you and that hairy duck hunter :)
I'm asking God to place His hand on your back and may you feel the warmth and healing. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the laugh today! He does have big hair! :~) Have to laugh at the comments too - I too wonder how many hits their website will get today and if they will ever connect the too! hehe Too funny!
quick post to say my husband is AWESOME! I mentioned trying to go to July LPM event, but it's sold out, and he said what about this weekend in Tuscon - BOOK IT! I tried to argue and say I had too much work (accountant, see earlier post!) and he said don't care, we're going! He'll drive the 2.5 hours, taking the dog and hang at the hotel with our dog, while I get to worship GOD! Wheeeeee Bridget in Phoenix
Oh - Beth ===
I'm always asking God for more humor in my life! Somehow He manages to bring it through you when I least expect it!
Blessings in Tucson!
Choosing JOY, Stephanie

Hilarious...! see, good things come while pursuing that one more cup of coffee!
Praying for you as you travel and for Tucson!
Blessings,
Michelle in VT
LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED!!! Hysterically funny!
I even forwarded it to my sweet sister-in-law in Tucson who is so hugely excited and pumped that she's going to get to see you LIVE for the first time this weekend! I pray God's blessings over you as you bring them what God gives you. If the other gazzillion women are as excited as Lisa, you're gonna have a big old Tucson time!
P.S. Lisa so hopes you'll eat Mexican while you're there. She thinks theirs is the finest!
I just love you to pieces!
ps. funny... I had a few minutes before I had to get ready for work so I turned on TLC's "What not to wear" and there is a big hairy duck hunter this morning on that show getting made over ;)
Oh MamaBeth thanks for sharing, it makes me feel like less of a goof for getting all squirrelly about wanting to meet you at SSMTC.
I wasn't one of the lucky ones to meet you on Friday and didn't know if there would be a chance on Saturday, so I asked a question during the Q&A time.
The first thing I said was "I love you, Mama," because I wanted you to know, even if it had to be in front of 500 other people.
The ironic part was, when I asked you the question, I was so wound up about it all that I have absolutely no idea what your answer was.
Praying for you and everything in Tucson!

OK, I Googled the Duck Commanders which was a new one to me..not Googling but the web site that appeared. My, my...you do LOVE your man :-) God's grin was as big as yours as He watched.
I absolutely love this! This is exactly why I love you Beth so much!!! Made my morning, yes you did!
Oops, I meant to say I am praying for you in TUCSON today. Look for my sister with her SMT boa.
:)
You make me smile!
You are the so genuine!
Thank you!
I just love you mama siesta! You are so real! I am smiling from ear to ear! Loved the picture! You are so beautiful!
Praying for you and everyone involved in the LPL event this weekend!
Much love!
Ahhh, Bless you, Sweet Miss Beth!!!
OK - this is just toooo funny! I had to look up the Duck Commanders. Sure would love to see that pic!
Love it! Of course I'm one of the ones whose going to have to go and google "Duck Commander." But I still love it. :)
That brings up an interesting question. I'm always thinking if I see someone I know from "tv, radio, authors, whatever" is it bothersome to ask them for a picture? How do you feel when you're asked in the airport, at a restaurant, etc? Because I certainly would want someone to feel comfortable to blend in and relax - but know there may come a time when I am just beside myself (as you were today) and want to record the moment for all eternity.
Thank you for letting us in on this! LOVE it! So happy for you!!! :-) I'm going to google Willie Robertson... i'm definitely out of the duck hunting loop!
You are too much fun, may God continue to bless you and each of the women that attend this weekend!
BETH!!!! My husband was just at the Duck Commander show in Newnan, GA last night!!! He was so excited when I told him you saw Willie at the Airport! All our boys are OBSESSED with Duck Commander! HA! You are too funny! Hope you have a great weekend!!
Love, Reese Ray
You crack me up!
"Smile - sunshine is good for your teeth." ~Author Unknown
Have a blessed day!!
Love Ya
You slay me! I have never heard tell of such a thang, but I'm glad you & Keith are happy!
I love to watch people too and am always glad for a vicarious tale. Esp from the Mama.
I know that the Father will continue to pour Himself out on your behalf this entire weekend. Blessings to you!
Oh that is hilarious!! I love the Duck Commanders! And I love it that you know who they are, ha!
You are absolutely hillarious Mrs. Beth! This just totally made my day because it is so totally YOU. :) I had to reply today not just because of your post - which my dad used to duck hunt when we lived in Alaska...some 30+ years ago - but because I just finished the Fruit of the Spirt study last night.
After I left class I seriously had to go for a drive (I have 2 teenagers that bug me all the time...lol) before I went home as I was totally in awe of how He works in our lives. I haven't felt that "total awe" in a long time to the point I was just totally thanking Him with prayer during the hour drive I took to get back home. There were times I just could not speak because it was so profound. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. You're truly awesome "my mentor" - Ms. Beth.

P.S. I'm sorry if this posts twice...computer issues...lol
So, I did exactly what you said, Beth, and googled him (my dad makes duck calls so I thought he'd be proud of me reading up on a duck hunter). Funny thing is that the story I was reading about Willie involved him having knee surgery and going out on a hunt on crutches right after that. I found myself laughing because I had just got done reading the other day your story of sitting in paper shorts and heels waiting for your own knee to be looked at. I'm trying to picture him in those paper shorts when he first went in about his knee and it's cracking me up! : )
That is THE FUNNIEST THING EVER!!!
Only Beth Moore, a little gal from the backwoods of Arkansas would know that! I bet Keith was elated!
I can only imagine the look on Grizzly Adams face when he thought to himself, "Man, I struck gold here!" You are probably the cutest thing he ever saw!
You are hilarious! I hope it made you forget your back pain for a few minutes! I laughed so hard when I saw the picture I almost wet myself!!!
Blessings in the thousands be yours!
Wonderful!
You're hilarious!! It makes me feel better because that is how I acted when I met you in Houston last weekend!! So funny!!
You Crazy Girl!!!!
God must just get the biggest kick out of your mildly gregarious personality. I'll have to show my husband this post. He is going to die!
May God continue to fill you to overflowing. You know it, when you are weak He is strong. I have a deep feeling right now, that God is going to show up in a big way. He just wants you to be in on it from deep surrender.
Blessings,
Jina
I don't have a clue who the Duck Commanders are, but I just have to ask a question: Did he have a clue who HE was having HIS picture taken with?!?
Prayers for more divine blessings!!
PS...I left the link to this on his facebook page so he and all his fans/family can come see!!

I AM HAVING ONE OF THE PROUDEST MOMENTS RIGHT NOW!!! I just never dreamed another woman on the face of this earth would recognize a Duck Commander but lil' ol me...who is priviledged, as you are, to watch the Duck Commanders in my home. THIS IS HILARIOUS!!! I cannot wait to tell my man, Chad. He gets Duck Commander "stuff" in his stocking every Christmas. =)
I love you Bibs!!!

Bethie,

Love ya

Very awesome!! So cute!
Oh Beth,
Thank you for being faithful to your spirit, God is already rewarding you, with of all things a Duck Commander.(something I will have to google!)
I am one of the LUCKY 10 to get a free ticket to the Tucson event. I can't wait! HE wants me there for sure, HE's got a WORD for me, HE always does!
I am teaching my Kindergartners until 1pm and then hitting the road. I know I will be cutting it close but today is our last school day before Spring Break! So taking the WHOLE day off was not an option.
See you in a few hours, Siesta Mama!

P.S. Thanks to all the Siestas that are praying for us and Beth for a great weekend with our God!
This post made me laugh out loud! My husband would absolutely fall over if I sent him a picture of me and one of his hunting heros - at the airport no less!!!
Too cute! Thanks for the smile.

I'm laughing out loud. I can't wait to show my husband. He will love it.

You can have fun wherever you are Beth! That is a gift! And I don't have it! ha ha When my youngest son was about 15 or so he told me one day...."Mama, you know how to have fun less than anybody else I know!" At first it hurt my feelings but then it was funny. Funny but, sadly, probably true! Sigh!
Hope the weekend goes great and that you get the rest you need at night!

I'm out of the duck hunting loop but this story still made me giggle! :) Love it!

I am more excited about you seeing the KY Wildcats than I am about the Duck Commander! Guess where I am from! ;)
I am one of the googler girls, had to figure out who this fella was, too cute that you knew.
God bless your trip, and keep your eye out for other travellers who are in diguise, maybe there will be an angel on board too.
I love the fact that you get as giddy at persons as much as we do with you. You get the benefit of both sides.
Much love and gratefulnes to you.

The things we do for our men!!! Hope the weekend is GREAT!!
I am dying.
First, Praise the Lord! Second, I love, love, love your hair! Third, you make me laugh! http://www.speckleofdirt.com
Now, his wife probably knows exactly who you are!
i think you were probably as excited to meet a duck commander as i was the day you opened the blog up to "questions" and i found out what kind of mascara and lipgloss you use! love it!
hahaha! that is absolutely incredible. =D
p.s. a dear friend of mine - heather - met you and got you to write a sweet note to me. I got it in the mail today - right before I had a test...and right after I'd spent all night and most of the morning working on a research paper due today that still wasn't finished.
talk about surge of supernatural energy. :) It brought back so many words of wisdom from the book and the study I'm doing right now and so many scriptures! thanks for your encouragement, even though you didn't know it. =)
Beth, I grew up with Willie and this is so funny to me! His sister-in-law has posted your link on Facebook. Unbelievable!
It made me feel so much better when I saw this picture. I felt the same way when I saw you at Starbucks in Nashville last year. It's like you don't want to bother someone, and yet if God is blessing you with a divine appointment (or sighting) you just have to say hello. God bless have a fabulous weekend!
That is to much Fun!!! Have a great weekend in Tuscon and let the WORD Fall like RAIN!!!!
Beth...woman...you are having a fantastic hair day! Congratulations!! Love you...and your hair! :)

so funny!
Beth, I don't know if you will read this but my friend, Robyn and her mother, Susan will be at LPL tonight. They have had the roughest year--losing many loved ones. I know you sometimes say things to people there. If you are led by the Spirit to lift them up, please do! Lifting you all up right now,
Wendy
ROFLOL! Oh Miss Beth, I am just side splitting laughing here! I was thinking this was another "comb out" opportunity for you in an airport! Oh, I hope you think that is funny!
LOL!!! I did have to google who he was... This brought some joy to my day! Thanks! Praying you have a sweet time in Arizona!!
HIIIIIILARRRRIOUS!
My husband and I google Duck Commander right away and now have a whole new slew of knowledge! That is hilarious! I'm with the girls, did HE know who YOU were? Welcome to the Old Pueblo, we all are pretty jazzed up to see you tonight! Wooo hooo!!!!
what a riot!
my blog entry today is titled after your live simulcast last year where you laid it on my to
"listen here missy"
blessings to you beth
xo
hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if this picture is going on his blog? What would his caption be, Beauty and the Duck Man? What a cute picture, even for those of us who aren't up on duck hunting and those who are the experts, and to think your husband missed out, I guess you had to take a picture for him to believe it.
Ok I am totally cracking up!!! You made my day!!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the joy!!!
Kimberly in Northern Michigan
You are cracking me up!!!
Cracking up about the Duck Commander. Keith is probably bummed he didn't accompany you and Hawk. Enjoy AZ. Once I met "Biff" from Back to the Future on a flight in Denver-made my Dad's day. Oh...and So jealous of "In and Out"!!! That has been my big pregnancy craving...but there is no way my sweet hubby is going to drive 18+ hours to get me one...plus it wouldn't be good when he got home.
I love how much you enjoy life.
Keep living!
Love,

Never heard of Duck Commander, but I'll bet his name has been all over google today!
Praying for ya'll this weekend. And thanks for sharing the pics - ya'll are the best!
This is the funniest thing! I would have done the same thing as you and my husband would have loved me much more as well! Praying for you this weekend.
Had to google the Duck Commanders. Laughed out loud! You crack me up. You must have just scored some MAJOR points with Keith! :)
You're too funny! Don't have a clue who the duck commander is (sorry, Keith!) but I'm green with envy over the "IN-N-OUT"!!! That's my favorite CA. restaurant.
If this weekend is going to be anything like the 'bringin' you did on Tuesday night-Tucson better be ready! I'm still playing it over in my head and heart. No kidding, you spoke right to me!
Aren't people in the airports fascinating! Love to watch everyone.
Well, i'm gonna have to google bc I am way out of the loop! I'm super excited nontheless, but way out of the duck loop!!!!
Praying over the Tuscon weekend!
Hugs and blessings~

Thanks Google! Now I know who the commanders are....interesting! Now Beth, do you and Keith ever watch Veterans Outdoors? They're a group of young men that give some wounded Veterans the hunting trip of a lifetime. (It's on very early on Saturday mornings, we tape it!) But it's awesome to see what's being done for these guys.
Have a great weekend!
Beth you crack me up!
I may not have gotten the Willie Robertson excitement but the IN N OUT burger!!!!!! Oh my. Thanks for sharing the fun. I am praying for all of you..God is going to move MIGHTILY in Tuscon. Bring it BOLD mama.
I am showing my man in a sec! Loving the flats and I was up praying for your back for a while last night and praying for all the women at the event!
You are the greatest inspiration I have ever had! I love to hear how God loves you in your obedience to Him. Thanks so much for sharing that duck story, even though I had no idea who he was till I googled him!
I'll be praying for you this weekend - what a honor to do so!
That is FANTASTIC! On the way to our honeymoon, Brian and I got to meet to professional wrestlers that he enjoyed watching. Another time, when I was traveling alone, I met "The Big Show". Of course, he was flattered that I knew who he was...enough so to take a picture with me twice! The first time, my camera didn't have any film in it, so I tracked him down for a second shot!
I LOVE IT!!!
May the Lord reign in Tucson!!!
Love to you Beth!!!
Beth, we go to church with Willie Robertson...and he is an awesome character! His dad, Phil Robertson, aka THE Duck Commander is one of the most unbelievable sharers of the gospel and God's word that I have ever heard ..... both of you have such a special way of sharing the truth .... may you both continue to be BOLD and BLESSED!(would love to see you speak together ... you 2 would be a hoot!)
Enjoy you some In-n-out! Its funny the things we take for granted, I just have one down the street from me!
oooooo - got your pic with Duck and Hawk in the same day!!
;)
TOO funny! Love it!
Praying that God keeps you on your feet tonight and Saturday morning! I know those ladies are in for a blessing!
Hugs and prayers,
stephanie
I just have to say, I enjoy your blog so much. I love your Bible studies but I think I love this blog more. It's so nice to have someone like you really and truly care about the people. I'm sure other authors do also but you actually take the time to reach out to all of us. You have just become my new favorite person. Thanks for being so real.
Beth, I have already commented on this once today, but I want to confess to you what I honestly thought when I first saw this picture........that yet again the Lord asked you to do something for Him in an airport.......and that was to comb this mans beard or hair! I also thought at first he looked like Tim Allen's side kick that wore the red checkered flannel shirts on Home Improvements. And yes, I too googled Duck Commanders. LOL!! Love you Beth,
In His Grip, Mary
