Washington and Moore...

What a great time! What shall I do to put our trip and the conference in words for you?

First, we stopped in DC. We walked all the way from our parking spot behind the Lincoln Memorial to the Library of Congress and back - more than four miles! In between, we saw the Korean War memorial, the World War II memorial, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian, the National Mall, the Capitol, and so on. We even got a tour of the early history of flight at the National Aeronautics and Space Museum!

Of course, the best part of the trip was hearing people like David Whitney and Roy Moore and Mike Peroutka talk about (and discuss personally with them!) God and government, and the need for acknowleging God.

The worldview of liberty, as these men wonderfully proclaimed, is one of trust in the Creator. As Fredrick Bastiat wrote, "Liberty is the acknowledgement of faith in God and His works."

Although we were not allowed to videotape the conference at the church, we were able to capture the events at the park in a great way.

My favorite part was seeing so many young people... and playing volleyball, and giving them my card with this web address! :-) So if you are Nathan or Curtis or Daniel or Beth, (or if you were there but I didn't learn your name...) you are given a special welcome here. Please e-mail me at rjmpilgrim@aol.com if you would like to help with the Young Leaders' concept discussed in the below post.

A bunch of the speakers also received cards.

IOTC was already in our LibertyInLaw list, but now I am more excited than ever about it.

Praise God!
