National Convention 2007

We are back home once again - and boy does it feel good! We've spent the last week in Little Rock for the National Free Will Baptist Convention. I've got to brag on my little guy for a minute. He is the BEST traveler. Both days we were traveling he did wonderfully. He even behaves while we are hanging out in the airport! He just had a couple not so great moments in the middle but nothing too bad at all.
We took five students with us who were competing. We had a Bible Bowl team, a monologue and a solo. The Bible Bowl made it to the semi-finals but got beat. Eryn placed second with her monologue!
We helped work a blood drive at the convention on Wed. Daniel didn't like that too much. He hates needles. He disappeared quite often.
The highlight of my week was going to a presentation for The Hanna Project. Looking at the pictures of the people that they ministered to in Africa brought tears to my eyes. There was even a 72 year old woman that went with them on that mission trip. That is amazing! It is my hope and prayer that our denomination will support this work and that it will reach many souls around the world.
It other news - We have a contract on a house to buy. We should close in a couple of weeks. Please be in prayer about that.
Our adoption agency - Dillon International has done some amazing work at Luke's orphanage. Click on this link to check out all the renovations.
