Boston! Part 3: This and That

Well, I need to get a move on and not let this "Boston Retrospective" last all summer! Obviously, the conference sessions were wonderful -- informative, inspiring, refreshingly biblical, uplifting and encouraging. These conferences have come to mean so much to me and my family aside from the way the Lord uses the faithful speakers to reinforce his truth in our lives. In addition, the fellowship with like-minded and like-hearted families is like cool water in a parched land! Here are some assorted pictures from outside the session rooms . . .





"General Washington", followed by the McIntyre brothers' color guard, leads the troops!


The younger Higginbotham boys are faithful soldiers!

I can't get the picture below to move and give me room for text, so I will explain it here: We got to know a new friend, Mrs. Sherry Arnold, from Louisiana, and shared her enthusiasm for the beautiful event. She loved that we have so many grandchildren! (We do, too!)


The afterglow just goes on and on . . . we always hate to pack up and go! This time, there was the ringing of the Liberty Bell to look forward to after the closing session. It rang out in the hotel lobby 13 times at the exact moment (2:00 p.m.) on July 4th that it had 233 years ago in Philadelphia. Danny and I were impressed by this replica -- it was the real deal, as acknowledged by anyone in that lobby! What a testimony!

Faithful men doing what faithful men do -- speak of things of God wherever they find themselves. The rest of us were enjoying Cold Stone Creamery ice cream!

From the beautiful bridge in the Boston Public Garden by the Commons. Thank God, I am spending much less time in the wheel chair now!

We loved this tree, the weeping beech tree. It came down to the ground on all sides, like a tent. The groundskeepers had trimmed open a "doorway", giving us the idea that grandchildren would love to have one of these to make a hideaway under!

Life is going on at this point. Baby Paul is here, and we are planning a trip next month to see the family in Arkasouri. But we thank God for the opportunity to experience the gathering of saints to remember the fathers of our faith. What a blessing it has been!
