One day you are a young married and the next you are in the "Special Needs" section at the Convention. And very grateful for it too. Ken, Jean and I found good seats and were able to order our lunch and even had tea and coffee bought to us. It was so helpful - thank you very very much, young brothers and sisters.
And, as we always say, the Convention was the best ever. But, as they are getting better and better, we are always right in so saying.
The theme this year was: "Let God's Kingdom Come!".
The opening talk was: "Why We Need God's Kingdom To Come." (If you aren't sure, watch the News. And also think how short a time it is from being one of the young marrieds to being one of the Zimmer set.)
The closing address was: "God's Kingdom Will Crush All Other Kingdoms - When?"
We can't know exactly when. Even Jesus didn't know when he was on the earth. He may well know now of course, as he is The Rider on the White Horse, riding out to complete his conquest. But we can know the signs of the times, as the Bible tells us.
This talk was specifically about the march of the world powers as set out in the prophetic Book of Daniel.
And - just as I had given up hope of Part 2 of the DVD, in the very last talk the Speaker told us that the second part of "Jehovah's Witnesses, Faith in Action" has been released. Its called "Let the Light Shine".
We all got our DVDs at the end of the Convention and they let me have an extra one for a sister who is at home recovering from an operation.
Now I have to try and decipher the two notebooks I took with me. Either twelve spiders got very drunk, fell into a vat of ink, and staggered all over the pages. Or I took notes.
