Conventioning Like Teachers

.

Yesterday was a full day of conventioning.

My favorite part was going to lunch with my friends.

Of course my friends are very kind
And showed a lot of love and acceptance
To this "Special Needs" teacher who joined us.

Oh trust me!!! Her needs are VERY special.

My favorite part of LUNCH
Was the part where - - -

We ate in the College Football Hall of Fame!!!

This would be me,
Pretending to be part of the exhibit.

This is the only part of the exhibit you can see without paying the entrance fee. Pretty cool.

Also pretty cool that MY team, meaning the one I predicted to WIN, won last night. Go Cornhuskers!!! (Right Cindy???)

One whole wall in the hall going to the Hall (figure THAT one out!) is a mural of my most excellent Badgers. I always like to give the "boys" an encouraging pat on the head as I pass by.

Now, lest you think I totally SKIPPED out on the convention and PLAYED HOOKIE all day - - -

Here's a picture of our whole row of teachers in one of the general sessions.

The Annie Moses Band provided the music.



I enjoyed them so much I'm posting this YouTube performance so you can check them out!


And the keynote speaker, Dr. Charles Ware, scored a touchdown with me when he reminded us that we are FRANCHISED - - - BOUGHT WITH THE BLOOD - - - and that the $$$$$$ of millionaires is only CHUMP CHANGE compared with being an HEIR OF THE KING. Helped me put what we do as teachers in small Christian schools BACK in perspective.


Of course - - - we had some fun along the way even while we sat in meetings all day.

Today - - - sessions until 1:30 and then we'll load onto the People Mover and head back home.

Thanks for visiting with us.
