Jason and I were able to go to the Worship God 08 conference this last week in Gaithersburg, Maryland (I wrote this the week we got back - the first week of August). This was held at Covenant Life Church which is part of Sovereign Grace Ministries (CJ Mahaney, Joshua Harris). "Let Your Kingdom Come", "Psalm 103", "Grace Unmeasured" and "Glories of Calvary" are just a few of the songs that we use at our church through this ministry. Their songs are extremely gospel centered and have incredible lyrics. I would totally recommend their worships albums (sovereigngraceministries.org).
Okay now to the conference.... all I can say it that I feel like I have been punched in the gut a few times because of being convicted of some issues I have been dealing with. I went to this conference just thinking I would be learning more about music, singing and studying the Psalms. I did not expect to learn so much on family worship in the home and being a pastor's wife. While at the conference I was also reading "Feminine Appeal" by Caroline Mahaney which only added to the list of things that need to change in my life (I am not yet finished with this book but would totally recommend it). Lets just say that my attitude toward raising Owen and Jason being in full time ministry is not always the best! Thank you Lord for Your grace and patience with me!!
We went to visit Jay's parents two weekends ago and they took us to the Akron Zoo. Just walking around with Grandma Bradshaw.
Yosie and Owen having a "meal" together at Carriage Hill Park.
Owen at the Great Darke County Fair. Our one and only visit for the year.
Owen just chillin out at home.
We have been gone a lot the last few weeks (hence not blogging or commenting on blogs). Next stop is Cedarville. For the next few days Jay will be playing guitar on a worship team for Fall Bible Conference. Owen and I will be joining him tomorrow evening. After this I am going to be ready to be at home for more than 5 days straight but at least we have kept busy :).

we have definitely been missing you! it was good to see you singing again yesterday (btw- i LOVED the song!) even though we didn't get to talk. hope that changes soon. :)
The new song the worship team did yesterday was also done by Sovereign Grace. Great words!!!
Ditto about the song. Loved it!!
Also, only ONE time to the fair? Oh Jodi, its obvious you guys aren't native to Darke County! It must not be in your blood. :)
Just wait until Owen gets a little older and begs to go every night . . .
i agree - i wasn't in there for all of it, but the worship was really wonderful on Sunday - especially that song.
