BigStuf 2007!

Well, we are back from BigStuf07 and it was a really good experience...now that I look back on it. During the week, it was very frustrating and humbling!

It took us 22 hours straight through on a bus to get to Panama City Beach, FL. We thought it would take us a little bit longer, so we ended up getting there really early and had to kill time in some surf shops. The kids were really restless and in bad moods so it made for a great start to the week! The resort was right on the oceanfront, and my room faced the beach. That was awesome!
The entire theme of the week was "Rhythm". They talked about how we were created to be in Rhythm with God and that we should also have rhythm with others, the world, our faith and the journey. It was a really great concept!

One of the funniest quotes from the week, "Can you stub your toe in heaven? I don't know, but it won't hurt!"

I am sort of at a loss for what else to say, so I am sure that more stories will trickle out...enjoy the pictures!

  3. Actually, I think one of the funniest quotes was from you.
    "Who's in the bathroom [on the bus]?" (Response: Matt Rendall, Michael and Joseph.) "Joseph?" *shudder*
