Each year our older boys participate in Leadership Training for Christ (LTC), a big event for 3rd-12th graders to examine their talents and leadership abilities. Each year there is a special theme and book of the Bible to focus on. This year’s book was 2 Samuel (tough book to study!), with a theme of “The Rock”.
Going along with “The Rock” theme, Asa (seventh grade) took this picture
and entered it in the “photography” category.
Framed in black, this photo looked pretty cool.
We were blessed to spend our nights with good friends who live close to the convention center in Kansas City. That may have been my favorite part of the weekend…spending time with people we love and don’t see often enough. We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing visit on Friday before the LTC activities began!
Friday night and all day Saturday, our boys (along with hundreds of other kids from the midwest) participated in dramas, puppet shows, choirs and other events that they had spent weeks and months preparing for.
This is our friend N, pictured with Justus and Asa at LTC.
We got to strengthen relationships among our local church friends. We got to hug friends we only see once a year at LTC. We got to catch up with friends to see how the past year has gone. We got completely exhausted! It was awesome!

Sunday we were back home in time to celebrate our Risen Savior with our local church family. We had a big Easter feast with Adam and BryAnna and a big Easter egg hunt with our church small group in the evening.
It was for sure…another awesome weekend!
