CBS Teaching Directors' Conference


Jan. 21-24, we had the opportunity to stay at the Broadmoor for my CBS - TD conference! There were wonderful speakers and people from around the world. Meals were always accompanied by fascinating conversations! It was a great time of encouragement in the Word! On Friday, we went to see our friend, Emily Chaffer at Compassion Int'l and she gave us grim info about the devastation in Haiti after the earthquake. Some 15,000 of their sponsored children are missing!
The Lord did a sweet, personal thing for us, though. Thirty years ago, we spent the first few nights of our honeymoon at the Broadmoor. When we first got there this time, we were given a room w/ 2 small beds, but my friend, Marilyn Betsch, had told me she was praying that we'd have a great room. So I went up to the desk and shyly asked if we could have a better room. The gal was so sweet and guess what? There was only one room left w/ a kingsize bed and she gave it to us!
Why is the thought of reenacting our honeymoon so funny?! Besides, we'd need that whole crew of people that crashed our party, wouldn't we, Chris, Gene, Cheri....
