Home again, home again (from AL)

The 2005 AL Uniting Church and Home conference (featuring Greg Harris) is over. We spent an interesting weekend just south of Birmingham at a trailer park. (LOL... Travel trailer, that is... :D)

The Smith train departed Griffin on Friday afternoon with 8 of God's precious lambs, and 1 Smith lamb named precious. :D ( He's only 6 weeks old, and must be bottle fed 3 times daily -- we couldn't leave him at home...) At the AL welcome center, we fawned over a truck and travel trailer w/ 2 kayaks and a canoe tied to the roof. Later, upon our arrival at our state park campsite, we were pleasantly surprised to have the 'yak truck pull into the campsite across from us. Moreover, they introduced themselves as the Roy family, also present to attend the AL Uniting Church and Home conference! After setting the camper up, we ran down to the Keen's -- they being so gracious as to prepare a regal repast for our hungry horde. Following the feast, we returned north to the Southeastern Bible College facility and wired the laptop into the sound system so as to enable the recording of Mr. Harris' presentations. To our surprise, the Pendleton family were also present in a supporting capacity, and their two oldest (Joel and Jacob) and I spent a fair amount of time in conversation over the next 27 hrs. Mr. Harris, as always, was full of excellent information, and we look forward to working more with him in the future. We had an exhausting but nevertheless refreshing weekend. Should have pictures within the next day or so.
Grace and Peace...

LOL... I guess I never did load any pictures from that trip. There is doubtless a storage location on our PC containing a boundless reservoir of such; I, however, have not (as I should have) gone to the trouble to locate it... :\
