Chatting outside...it was a little cooler out there than in the room.

A bunch of 'unsocialized homeschoolers...socializing? ;)

We ended the night with singing praises to the Lord!

♪♫♫♪

Iiiiiiiiiinnnnn mmmyyyyyyy hearrrrrrtt theeerrre rrrrrings (roll that R) a melody!

Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth;
         Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises. Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,
         With the lyre and the sound of melody.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
         Shout joyfully before the King, the LORD.
Let the sea roar and all it contains,
         The world and those who dwell in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands,
         Let the mountains sing together for joy

"O come, let us sing unto the Lord a new song." Thus the grateful notes of praise have gathered volume and augmented their compass as the ages have rolled onwards; and these as it were only the rehearsals for a grand oratorio. What then, shall be the marvelous novelty and the matchless glory of that song which shall be sung at the last upon Mount Zion, when ten thousand times ten thousand of the warriors of God shall surround Jesus the conqueror, when we shall hear a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, and like great thunders, when shall be heard the voice of harpers, harping with their harps; what shall be, I say, the strange novelty of that new song which they shall sing before the throne, when the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures shall fall before God upon their faces, and worship him for ever and ever? Would that our ears could anticipate that tremendous burst of "Hallelujah! hallelujah! hallelujah! the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth." ~ Charles Spurgeon The New Song

Sing Choirs of New Jerusalem

"Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing,

While heaven's resounding mansions ring

With shouts of sovereign grace."

What a transcendent triumph!

	Oh sing to the Lord a new song,

I will sing of steadfast love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will make music.

Psalm 101:1

After the church service Sunday, Stephanie decides to begin a snowball fight...

Good catch Mr. Fournier!

Gotcha!

Breathtaking view from the highway

If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity. The old cross slew men, the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.

A.W. Tozer

If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.

J.C. Ryle

Thus ended Part 2 of our trip to the Love the Church Conference. An encouraging, soul-strengthening week! Thank you Lord for providing the way for us to go and enjoy such a fantastic week and for giving us such wonderful friends for our traveling buddies!
Stay tuned for Part 3-Cabella's!

Arrival in NC

We arrived in at the Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina late on Tuesday night after driving straight through from the Maira's. Seth demonstrates how we all felt.

Breakfast Wednesday morning,
We and the Fourniers adopted each others children at different times during the week. :)

After breakfast we stopped by the Goodwill store...

"I had a terrible time finding a suitable basket"
~Percy

The girls found the some of the baskets quite entertaining :)

Felicity's practicing the Indian way to hold a basket

Once we had sufficiently exhausted the Goodwill store we headed to Amazin Savings.
This grocery store was, in many ways, like a Whole Foods...only, at a fraction of the price!
For instance: Kombucha 5 for $5!
(Sorry Tayla, I did take a picture for you but we can't seem to find it...)

Emily and her freshly ground peanut butter
Mrs. Fourner was talking to the store manager and apparently they are planning on installing an assortment of nut grinding devices so people can grind their own hazelnut butter, sesame butter, etc. Perhaps they will be ready for next years conference!
