We were able to meet other like-minded families -- some of whom we "knew" from Internet fellowship, and others we had no acquaintence with before. The precious Powers family ( http://www.rehobothfarm.com/ ) spearheaded the organization of the conference and were a blessing to all who attended.
Part of the blessing was being with our family. The Dischers and Stricklens went along, as well as daughter-in-law Ashley and little Savannah. We enjoyed so much having various ones ride along in the RV with us, taking turns being with Grandmama and Granddaddy. And little Savannah was able to spend some good time with cousins she doesn't see very often. It was a wonderful time and certainly confirmed in our hearts that we are on the right path with our family. May God's people be faithful to seek His face in these troubled times -- He has left Himself a very small remnant, and what a privilege to be part of that -- preparing faithful arrows to go into the future for His kingdom.
I thought this was cute! Riding along in the RV reading, reading, reading! L to R: Rosie, Margaret Anne, Ashley. On the floor, Savannah listens as Markie reads to her. Blessings for grandparents!
We made it to the lovely Langston House at Henderson Village, south of Perry GA, for dinner (meaning noon meal!) We always make an effort to time our trips up I-75 to be able to stop for breakfast or dinner (less pricey than supper!) This is a very special place. The founder was a boy in Germany after WWII and loved to watch old movies the American GIs showed. He fell in love with the South (Gone with the Wind, etc.) and decided when he grew up, he would come to America. He moved old houses to this location and restored them into a beautiful community resort, I guess. It is worth the stop, if you have the opportunity, for a genteel touch of Southern Hospitality. South of Perry a couple of miles off the Interstate at Exit 127 (Hwy 27). (No, I am not a stock-holder!)
Beautiful maidens of virtue: Granddaughters Kitty, Callie, Sarah Beth, Gracie, Mary Noelle. What astounding potential for godly motherhood is portrayed here!
Mr. Geoff Botkin and two of his warrior-sons, doing battle for the Kingdom.Hope to present Part 2 soon, the rest of the trip -- on to Missouri!!

Yes, it was a wonderful time of refocusing on the priorities! Praise the Lord for the Botkin family's willingness to share their hearts even through sickness.
The picture from Henderson Village is so nice. My children always enjoy the times they get to go with Grandmama and Grandaddy to this beautiful place!
Love,
Beth
Yes - What a great and encouraging conference! We learned so much and were definitely motivated to keep our focus on the things the Lord has for us during these uncertain times. Thank the Lord for the blessing the entire Botkin fsmily was to our family. It was so nice to see all the like minded families there as well.
Thank you for being the godly matriarch our family needs for such a time as this.
We love you!

PS The children can't praise the Langston House enough! Little Margaret was so thrilled she got to eat there! She finally made it!
Oh, a trip to the Langston House! What a beautiful place to get to go, and so much fun with family!
The picture of everyone reading in the RV was great...hopefully no-one got carsick after all that reading!
Can't wait to hear more about the conference.
Love,
Katie
I thought we travelled a lot. I think your family outdoes us. :) I'm sure it must have been inspiring.
The Langston House looks like a fun stop.

I know first hand that a road trip with the Frodge Clan can be quite an adventure! Looks like ya'll had a great time!
We really enjoyed meeting the Frodge's at the Crossroads Conference. I especially enjoyed talking to Mr. Frodge (and his cowboy hat). In fact, I'm working on a blog post about why we need more Christian engineers and architects.
