Here we go.. a catch up post about the Northwest Bible Conference (aka June Long Weekend conference aka *the* conference) looking through the photos i took, this is the clay and evie show. :P

Friday night, arrive and unpack at youth camp then go to bed then wake up and watch Germany beat Costa Rica ;) - Joyce feels really really old (last of the 2004 y12 girls to still be camping!).

Evie gives us her most responsible expression as we head down for a wake-up game of soccer... (or a wake-up game of freeze butts off and hope that the sessions start soon). Incidentally it was another really really rainy conference - it just about never rains in Tamworth these days, and we got about 40mm on the first day!! (Thank God for the much needed rain tho)

The theme of the conference this year was "See him coming" - we had John Woodhouse and Stephen Turner speaking from 1&2 Thessalonians, etc. on the second coming over a series of 7 talks - both encouraging (to look forward to when our Saviour and Judge will return) and challenging (we so often lose sight or forget in our comfortable 21st century existence!) - John left us with the challenge that Paul left to the Philippians: Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ!


It was great to see everyone again :) though Clay didn't last long after Evie tried to extract his brain - (that long blonde hair is just covering brain-removing implement) - therefore I get his Emery hoodie!!! yay!!!




Monday morning: wake up to an absolutely freeeeezing morning - fog everywhere and ice on the cars, but the sun through the trees was pretty (oh btw this is my old school for anyone who hasn't seen it before)

and blogger isn't letting me post any more pics :( there has to be this black hole somewhere where they all disappear to every time i click "post picture"... hmmm - time to study then!

-- Now playing - I'm sick of the now playing segment. Coming up with a new one :P
