"Heat" Part 2 - or, How I Survived the Weekend

So, there we were, in the midst of this oppressive heat, and I was blessed enough to be going away for the weekend. Three good friends and myself attended the Women of Faith Conference in Rochester, NY in an air-conditioned arena. We had such a good time. We found a really good motel last year, so we stayed there again this year. If you get a chance, try the Homewood Suites (Hilton runs them). We were able to save a ton of money by bringing our own food for Friday dinner, plus snacks, etc. Breakfast was provided by the motel, and I'm talking about fresh-made waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, fruit, yogurt, cereals, muffins, bagels, toast.....oh, yeah. Anyway, the conference was awesome. We went to the pre-conference on Friday morning, which featured Patsy Clairmont and Anita Renfroe. I about busted a gut laughing! They are such marvelous speakers. I can't begin to tell you about all of their stories - the lineup of speakers was terrific. Patsy Clairmont, Anita Renfroe, Luci Swindoll, Marilyn Meburg, Sandi Patty, Nicole C. Mullen, Natalie Grant, Sheila Walsh, Allison Allen, Steve Arterburn (he is the reason there is a "Women of Faith"). The whole program was so uplifting, I would encourage you to check out the website www.womenoffaith.com for the conference schedule, and make plans to attend one.
Okay, that's enough for today. God bless.
