Well, last night I had the privilege of attending a Bible conference at Pastor Garry Weaver's church in Titusville, Florida. That is about 125 miles across the state, to an area where I grew up and my folks still live (about 20 miles south). I also had the privilege of meeting his son, the esteemed Pastor Steve Weaver of Tennessee (no one is perfect!) and got to hear him preach on "The Gift of Suffering" from 1 Corinthians 12:1-10...riveting, to say the least....
The first picture is yours truly with Steve, and the second is with Garry. We were able to fellowship with these men and their families for another 2 hours or so afterwards, and truthfully, I didn't want to leave, but I think they were about to sick the dogs on me if I didn't head back home :-)
You know, it surely is a wonderful thing to meet people of like precious faith. Now having met Phil Johnson, Frank Turk, Matt Gumm, Chris Pixley, and these two men of God, it makes me want to do that "Canadian Blogger Tour" all the more...

I know we're not pastors or anything wonderful like that, but we'd love to meet you if you ever make it here!! Bring Margie, too!!
Kim, she would kill me if I went to Canada to meet you guys and didn't bring her....and I wouldn't go anyway without her...we actually do want to have a tour through the "Land of the Frozen Faithful"...
It was great to meet you! I look forward to more fellowship in the days ahead if the Lord permits.
Even So:
If you come in July, you would probably feel like you were right at home. 99% humidity, and temps well into the upper 90s.
Oh Dude! You are so lucky-- er, providential. Blessed.
That's a pretty church. We have chairs, but I prefer pews.
We talked about you last night, Craver...all good, of course...blessings to you...
sounds like you had a good time.
how is your dad?
Yes, it was great, and I did get to eat dinner with my parents beforehand...Thank you for asking about my dad...I'm not sure how to say "God is working and we can see it" or explain "closer than ever to converting" so I'll just say that...prayers are eternally appreciated...I mean it...
WHAT!!! You ate supper before you came? I couldn't tell...
It was a blessing to see you and fellowship with you.
No, no, no Garry...I ate dinner with my parents, I ate supper with you guys...
