Convention News

Ok, I am going to post about our convention. :) I need to be folding my 6 or 7 loads of clothes, but I'm in the mood to post so, I'm posting. :0) I find if I'm in the mood to work on something, that is the best time to do it, or it might not get done. So here we go.

I didn't get alot of pictures of the preachers preaching, but I did get a couple. Here is Sis. Bell giving her ABM boost. She did a good job.

Of course I got some of Jacob. How could I not? He looks so good. ;) He was giving the BTI boost. He talked about the schools that Elijah started to teach and train the young men. Schools of "higher learning". Not only do we need to know what we believe and why we believe, but we also need to KNOW the God of The Church of God, to have the Spirit along with the knowledge.

Here Jacob was talking about the prayer mantel that passed from Elijah to Elisha when Elijah was taken by God. Elisha got the PRAYER mantel and the double portion of God to do the work.

I don't have pictures of anyone else preaching, but here are some pictures of the kids up front.

I don't remember what all was said because of tending to kids etc, but I do remember some of what Bro. Adams preached. He talked about our vision. When people's vision starts to fade the first thing that happens is a letting down of the doctrine, then church attendance starts to wain. We need to keep our vision (not of just the church but of everything the Bible teaches) strong. He did an acronym of the word VISION. The only one I remember is the word for "n". Nike. When we have a strong vision we will have the "nike" attitude. "Just do it." When God asks us to do some, we will "just do it." Wheither or not we understand it or like it or even want to, we will "just do it."

Some exciting news, we took in a new member during the convention! Here is Bro. Adams taking in Everyell Davison.

We received more exciting news Sunday afternoon after church that morning. Bro. Ron Barker got a phone call from his dad saying that he was wanting to re-join The Church when Bro. Barker got home! (He and his wife attended our convention.) Made me think of the Texas convention or was it camp? Where they started praying for former members to come back to the fold. Praise the Lord! He is answering! Can you feel the Spirit? I can. :)

The rest of the pictures are just misc ones.

Josiah and he little friend. They just played and played together so nice.

Our last meal together with church members before heading home.

Devin and Lyndi's girls.

Here is a couple from our hotel room. Tabitha is enjoying sitting in Dad's lap during our supper break.

Hope you all enjoy reading the little bit about our convention. Oh, Saturday night, we stayed up talking with Devin and Lyndi until 2 am. We spent the last two of those hours talking by our vans right outside the restaurant. I really enjoyed getting to visit with them. It was our first "long" visit since moving out here. Our visit was brought to an end when Jacob, who was holding a sleeping Moriah felt this warm sensation running down his arm. lol We decided it was time to got back to the room, change clothes and go to bed.

All in all, it was a good convention. I'm glad that we were able to go along with my Uncle and Aunt and Debbie and her kids (Josh had to work.)
