Random Happenings

Preparing the wedding invitations to be sent out!! So exciting!!



"It has an address, return address, and is stuffed. Ready to be sent!"



Daddy was so kind and helped us with the invitations! He kept us on track and so we could get them all done!

While Kate was on the phone with Stephen, we received the first RSVP!!! For some reason, Kate was acting like she didn't want us disturbing her about it...I wonder why :) In any case, Daddy and I were excited :)

RPCUS Conference

This year's conference was so wonderful. But then, all of them have been wonderful :). I would like to start this post with a quote or two from each speaker during their lectures.


"Do we just know the slogan 'Sola Scriptura', or are we living Sola Scriptura*?"
Mr. Wayne Rogers





"If you do not want to [glorify and be thankful to God], the other option is to be foolish"

Mr. Don Crowe




"If you have no passion for [Christ's] thoughts, you have no part of Him"
"God takes ingratitude seriously"
"Until we know God, we do not know ourselves"
Mr. Chris Strevil

"[In worship we need a] wedding of inward sincerity and outward faithfulness"
Mr. Joe Morecraft



"At the heart of the Reformation was the Bible"
Mr. Bill Potter



"Sovereignty is not an attribute of God. Rather, a consequence of Who He Is"
Mr. Jeff Black




*Sola Scriptura means 'The Bible Alone'"





Miss V. and Miss Chloe

Each night, after the last lecture, there was a dance practice for anyone who wanted to brush up on their dancing skills before the "official" Barn Dance.
