final day of the convention

We didn’t have any early meeting, so we didn’t get to the center until 9:30. We looked at some exhibits and went to the final business session. The Bible study was a continuation of the creation/evolution taped discussion. The discussions have been very uplifting. There was a changing of officers and a decision to begin having bicentennial meetings in 2012. We then went to the Thrivent lunch of salad with a chicken breast on top. We returned to our room, and Evelyn napped while I posted more pictures. We dressed a bit more formally (long pants) because the worship was a bit more formal. We helped by carrying one of 42 flags representing each country to the stage. The message was brilliant, emphasizing “a word from our sponsor”. The sponsor is God and the word was Savior. The Lutheran Hour speaker once again gave the message. We went from there to dinner (it was 5:30) and enjoyed roast beef. The Lord mercifully sat the president of the Texas district at our table. We were able to talk after the meal and entertainment. He implied that I might be able to get an endorsement from the Valley district. The entertainment was “Peculiar People”, a husband/wife team that gave a good witness. They travel with Steve Brown quite often. We came back to the room, packed one suitcase, put it into the car and watched the Cubs with Tom and Janet.
