Father's day and the SBC

We were in Louisville for Father's Day this year. We went to Highview to hear Dr. Al Mohler in Sunday School, but he was Preaching... so that worked out really well. I have never heard such a great sermon on the Doctrine of Salvation.

We found Olive Garden after Church and celebrated Father's Day.



Here we are in front of the Convention Center. (ignore that kid picking his nose... don't know how he got in our family photo.)



This is the Cooperative Program booth in the Exhibit hall.


North American Mission Board Exhibit. They had the last presentation of the convention and it was STIRRING.

There were ancient manuscripts and Bibles in the cases in the foreground.

International Mission Board Display. It was incredible. Folks were signing their name on the wall of maps to pray for that area. It was all pieces of the puzzle... praying for a piece...etc.. Neat theme.



Sum up the Convention:

1. We were so encouraged to see what we are accomplishing for the Lord's Kingdom.
2. The missions emphasis is as strong as ever.
3. There are such good men in leadership.
4. They took good care of our boys for us to be in the meetings.
5. Pastor's wives meeting was Great! I heard two great ladies speak and was encouraged.
6. Rodney LOVED all the preaching in the Pastor's Conference (Sunday and Monday.) It is such a blessing for him to get some preaching!
7. There are no good restaurants close to the Convention center. ... except Cracker Barrel.
8. God is So Good!!
