Well the Conference is coming to a close with only one short day left. It has been a great few days. Today we had two presentations by an amazing speaker Sr. Maria Cimperman. She spoke on the threshold of religious life and the hope of the future. She is truly an amazing presenter. Not only is she intelligent and articulate but she is easy to listen to, entertaining and very in touch with her audiences. She really was wonderful.
Along with all the speakers, the Conference has had some really fun small touches. One is that each day, there have been notes and letters on our tables or in our folders from children and teens in the area. It has been very touching receiving their kind words and prayers.
Another little touch is the small glimpses into Kentucky traditions and culture. We had cloggers from the area, a barbershop quartet, a derby trumpeter, a southern bell welcomed us and various musicians from the area performed for us.
On top of that, throughout the conference they have decorated the stage, the sanctuary area and all the tables with quilt pieces that women from the area quilted for the conference. Each quilt has a different pattern and are quite beautiful. Here are a few photos I took of some of those pieces.
Tomorrow I head home. It will be nice to be back home and to sleep in my own bed.
