"For Such A Time As This"

Mary and Brenda came to the house by 7:30 a.m. and I drove to the Sterling Inn for a Women's Conference featuring Jennifer Shaw. Her talk was based on the book of Esther. Although I have studied this book in a Beth Moore study, I still learned quite a bit of new things. She brought fresh pictures to the life of Queen Esther and what took place in history during that time.

There were 500 women, representing 83 churches! It was really nice. It was sponsored by 6 Lutheran area churches. I've been going to their retreats for many years and they do an awesome job. There were also 35 vendors and a delicious meal for lunch. I should have waited a little longer to take the pictures because every chair was filled. I guess everyone was up shopping. We didn't get back home until 4:00 p.m.

Sue came and spent the day with Jessie. They were outside for hours. They picked up the sticks in the front and back yards. Jessie also picked up all the white stone that Jon had around his fire pit. They walked twice around the track at the Twp. Hall and Jessie showed Sue all the animals at the Nature Center at Stony Creek. Sue looked beat when I got home. Not Jessie, though! She's still going strong up stairs! Not me. I'm ready for bed.
