Picnic with friends

PicnicJune09-2.jpg

Last Sunday we went out to our friends’ “farm” for sort-of an old-fashion picnic. The last time we visited was about three years ago, so this was quite a treat. There were around 40 people (6 families).

Fort Lowell Historic day

Every year in January, the Fort Lowell Historic District opens up private property to show the public a bit of Tucson history. This year for the first time, we were able to see the Captain’s quarters up close. The museum at Fort Lowell park is an exact copy of the captain’s quarters, and is open year round. It has photographs and other belongings from the families who lived at the fort at the turn of the century.

The Maxwell family

Two weeks ago we finally got to meet the Maxwell family. They came to give a two day conference to teach and encourage homeschool families. (Check out their blog to learn more and see some great pictures that my dad took! )

I was particularly excited about meeting Sarah, the oldest daughter. She is one of the most godly young ladies that I’ve ever met. It was very encouraging to hear her speak, and even more so to speak with her one-on-one.

Dr. John Whitcomb

Last Sunday, I saw Dr. John Whitcomb for the first time. He is the founder of the Modern Creation Science movment, and he came to speak in different churches from March 6-10. He speaks on different subjects taken from Genesis. Sunday he spoke on “The Genesis Flood and Modern Geology”. I also attended “The Origin of the Universe” on Tuesday. On Wednesday he was on the radio, and people called in to ask questions. I learned a lot from Dr. Whitcomb and I still am because we bought some books and things from him. He answered a lot of questions I had about The Begining.

Paint on Metal Exhibit

I went to my first exhibit opening reception at the Tucson Museum of Art. The curator gave us a tour and explained how, over the course of three years, she found artists who used metal to create their artwork. Some simply painted on pieces of metal, others sculpted and cut the metal. Many of the artists traveled from all over North America to be at the reception. One of the artists I met was Jason Young, from Canada. His art was used on the metal invitation we got, which he autographed for me. We also enjoyed the food and live music.

Here’s the information from the TMA website:

January 29, 2005 - May 1, 2005 Paint on Metal: Modern and Contemporary Explorations and Discoveries This exhibition brings together modern and contemporary artists working with traditional painting and sculptural techniques, each with a common bond-the use of metal as the canvas or the form upon which color is applied in a symbiotic melding of surface and substrate.

The Gospel of John

Last Saturday I went to “The Gospel of John, a One Person, Live Performance of the Fourth Gospel in its Entirety”. Brad Sherrill, the performer, used so much emotion as he recited, that it was as if he was a storyteller telling a fairytale. He wasn’t though, all he said really happened. He changed the way I look at reading the Bible. Now I look at it more as a story, and even the parts like Psalms and Proverbs (which are not stories) are more appealing because it’s more real to me that God talks right to us, through the Bible.
