I'm reminded once again of how to "speak Texan." I was given my first lesson back at the sem by a classmate of mine, and was reminded this week again. Here goes: When you speak of someone in a singular sense, they are referred to as "ya'll." As in, "Ya'll wanna go to the movies tonight?" But if you're speaking to more than one person, they are collectively referred to as "all ya'll," as in, "why are all ya'll pointin' them guns at me?" (note: we're staying in downtown Houston.)
All in all, the convention is going well, I guess. Pretty slow, as parliamentary procedure is followed for everything. So, I guess we're making progress. As always, we leave it confidently in God's hands, though He works through fallible individuals like myself. He is good and faithful through it all, in spite of ourselves.
The theme for the convention is "One People - Forgiven." We've been led each morning with great devo's regarding forgiveness and renewal through Christ's atoning sacrifice for us. I think we take this for granted so easily, don't we? It's truly a life-changing thing, to know that we are made brand new through the Cross of Jesus, which allows us to live in Him now and with the promise of living with Him forever in heaven.
Peace out, ya'll. I mean all ya'll.
