More reflections on our time in San Antonio

Our time in San Antonio was extremely pack with activities. Well, more so for Tom and for the rest of the family. Here are a few more highlights of the week in San Antonio.

• On Monday, Tom was one of six panelist to respond to Dr. Paul Conn's paper presented at the forum sponsored by the COG Division of Education. Other panelists included Dr. Cheryl Johns (COGTS), Dr. Harold Bare (our pastor from Charlottesville), Dr. Darrell Rice (an overseer from the Chicago area), and a couple of others. My response was, probably, the most off-the-wall of any of them. And that can be good or bad ... depends on perception.
• On Tuesday, I had dinner with a group of Indiana pastors (thanks, Randy, for picking up the tab!).
• On Wednesday, I had a breakfast meeting with the European Education Committee -- meeting was short, breakfast was great. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be. In the meantime, we decided to have another Edcuation Consultation similar to the one we held in 2007 in Kniebis.
• On Thursday, I was previleged to have breakfast with some of the brightest minds of the Church of God from all over the world. Among the group was two members of the Council of 18 representing Latin America, several Bible school presidents and educators, and regional leaders from around the world. (See picture)
• And of course, we had time for dinner with family and relatives (but those pictures have yet to be downloaded).
