For Such A Time As This . . .
Wayne Watson's song For Such a Time as This has been chosen to go along with our convention theme, and we will be singing it during our Featured Sessions. Please take a few minutes to look up this beautiful song and become familiar with it. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Let's Go Rving!
My wife always wanted to take a big trip out west in a motor home. Seven years ago her dream became a reality. I loaded up our then seven children and all the paraphernalia that goes along with them as well as a seven-months pregnant wife and took off to the Wild West.
