Well, I have been waiting to post this because I was trying to upload some phots from my phone and some video too, but my laptop does not have bluetooth and I already packed up "Mac".
It was an awesome day at the convention! We started the day at 9:00 AM. The Jr high had workshops first and the SR High had Main Session. The workshops we all different topics, but I think most of them went to one about "Ghosts and the Supernatural" and "Transformers". They seemed to really enjoy the information from these two workshops.
The main Session tackled some tough stuff about sex. I am pretty sure that they are all terrified now, not a bad thing!!!! The Sr high did their workshops in the afternoon and they all went to the Ghost one, one called "Mirror Mirror" and one called "Dough Boy". You'll have to ask them what these were about if you want some real details. Mirror Mirror was about the person you see in the mirror and the person you think God wants you to be. Dough Boy was about how Jesus (The Bread Man) fills all your wants and needs but the Dough Boy only fills the stomach.
I got the opportunity to teach a workshop about the movies that we as Christians decide to watch or not watch. My Jr high session was very dissapointing at first. 15 minutes after we were suposed to start I had no one in my room. I was about to go sit in on another session when people finally came, only 14 people, but still better than none! Sr high session I had people waiting outside for me to open the doors. When it was time to start I had counted about 100 people, but after we got going more people came in and sat on the floor and the total was about 135. It was really great to get to talk to these teens about something that is such a big part of my life.
We all had lunch and dinner together and we spent about an hour cramed in one of our four hotel rooms talking about the things we saw and heard all day. We had a really good time talking about all of the workshop and how God was speaking to them throughout the day. I am really seeing a couple of my kids coming out of their shells - it is so much fun to watch!
After we ate dinner we had about an hour to kill beofre our session so everyone had some free time to hang out. The Jr High session was a very impactful story about how God shows us unconditional love. He talked about how we may never fully understand how much God loves us, but He does.
The Sr High had speaker Dan Smith and he mentioned C.S.Lewis' Screwtape Letters. He talked about how when you are really close to God you become a prime target for the evil one. He also talked about how when a Christian is in the valley and is still able to pray and praise God he is a favored child of God and the their prayers are that much sweeter to His ear.
After the session we went to PCTC After Hours and saw Mad Dog and an Englishmen, and improv comedy duo, they were hilarious! And they even pulled Josh on stage for one of their sketches.
Well, it is about time for me to get some rest for the drive tomorrow. It has been amazing so far, and we're not done yet!!
