After a week of traveling to several Sectional Conferences, Wendell and I almost backed out of going to "Because of the Times" this year. We finally made up our minds to go, and of course we're glad we did.
Nathan and Ronda drove in from California and we had a lot of fun being with family.


David and Linda came from North Carolina.

Gene and Karla came from Wichita Falls...

and Jonathan and Brenda from Beaumont, so we had a great time seeing them! It is so much fun getting to be with family. I didn't take a lot of pictures, and didn't get ONE picture of Jonathan and Brenda! I think I need to "step it up a little" and get my camera going again. :(
B.O.T.T. was very good....(understatement). How do you describe the excellency of the services, and the awesomeness of the power of God that was prevalent? The sanctuary was packed, but we still had a great time in worship and praise. The messages were anointed and God spoke through the "ministers" to the host of preacher's and wives present. I am not going to go on and on about all of it, because I really do not have the words. Just believe me when I say....it was great!
I could only get pictures of the platform by taking the "screen shots" so here are just a few.
Pastor Anthony Mangun with his father...Elder Mangun.

One of Sis. Mickey Mangun.

Of course, these two had to show up! LOL! "BUNCH and BREEZE"!



I'll just say...It's a lot of fun living for God, being family, and having friends! There's nothing like it in the whole wide world. If you're down in the dumps, and feel all alone, it would be good to reach out to God...He's always available. Gather with your family...they love you unconditionally. Reach out to friends...they probably need you to call and would love to hear from you!
