liberty day 2008

So as you've probably heard, the Bandy family attended Liberty Day over the weekend, in fact around 70 people were represented from Providence Church. I had the great privilege of driving into the Chicago traffic, something I enjoy doing with all the crazy and insane drivers Chicago is so known for. Let's see if there's a picture around here somewhere pertaining to the lovely traffic we endured...




Well...not exactly what I was looking for...

We arrived around 9:00 or so later that morning, and most of the day was spent listening to Dr. Marshall Foster of California. Having never heard him before, I didn't exactly know what to expect but those lack of expectations were suddenly dashed away after listening to him for a little bit. Quite simply, I was blown away. Not only a gifted speaker, but one who can carry an audience, Dr. Foster is a man equipped with a Godly vision of returning America to its roots upon which it was founded, that of understanding liberty in the correct fashion and applying it to our lives effectively. Only a remnant is needed to bring America to its knees before the Creator and, interestingly enough, applied that remnant idea to those attending Liberty Day. Hopefully the response won't be apathy...

...the response must not be apathy...

In-between sessions the audience enjoyed various things...




a WWII demonstration during lunch




the Fiddler's Three




he who hath meditated upon these things shall be, um, intent upon the goal ahead. either that or he's wanting to sleep after the early morning

As the day progressed, evening came upon us and so signaled the 10th anniversary of the Liberty Day celebration.




I didn't take this and therefore claim no responsibility except for posting it ;)

Haha... that reminds me of you and Mac on Xanga and his labeling you "hey, there's a girl, let's dance!" or something like that... :-P

Nice pictures!

Unknown said...

Addendum! I just checked Mac's xanga to see if it was still there... now your name is "Argh! I can't get Isaac to dance!" O.o

Ryan,

Aye...the east coast is quite the distance from IL. Maybe y'all can move out here. Then! It'd be closer. ;)

Liza,

HAHA!!! That brings back memories...goodness, all of us had quite the time back then...them were the good times of online. Oh, and the dancing name is on Christian's xanga, though it appears he's deleted it...that's too bad. And Isaac was the wallflower, lol. :P
