Celebrate the Glory!

What a wonderful weekend we had! On Saturday, Dad, Mom, Eric and I travelled to Lynchburg, VA for a encouraging and uplifting conference that celebrated the glory of the Lord! We heard about it through the Alexanders, who also went.The topic of this particular conference was how to establish family worship in the home.
The first speaker and the man who ran the show, Marc Jantomaso, gave a wonderful session on the glory of God's Word.

Eric Wallace was there to speak about the beauty of family worship in the home and in the church.

We were also able to hear Scott Brown speak which was a real treat! We have only heard him on tapes and CDs, and we enjoyed being able to actually "see" him speak! He gave a session on family worship leadership.

Arnold Pent, the author of Ten P's In a Pod, was also there to speak on the fruit of family worship. He was hilarious!

All throughout the conference, we were blessed with beautiful music played by the Harrow family. It was neat to see them actually take Scripture and put it to music.
This is the view we had from the conference!

Sitting in the sun after lunch. It was so cold and windy there!

During the conference, we were challenged to memorize a passage from Psalm. Here, Dad is trying to rehearse it before sessions began again.

Afterward, Dad went to Scott Brown to get him to autograph a book that we had bought of his. He ended up staying and chatting with him and Mr. Pent for a good 15 minutes!

We joke Dad about him hanging around all of those "famous" people. :) We had so much fun at this conference and learned so much from it. It was a blessing to see Mom and Dad be encouraged. We also enjoyed being around so many like-minded families! ~Alli

"Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on the earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed."
~Psalm 112:1-2

Cookin' Up A Storm

After worship on Sunday, our fellowship is having a harvest party! Mom and I decided to make caramel popcorn balls for the group... and boy was it sticky. :) We ended up quadrupling the recipe twice to get the amount of popcorn balls that we needed (about 65 medium-sized ones)! Mom and I did sneak a few samples though while we were mixing...after all, the cook has to taste her creation to make sure it's fabulous! ~Alli
