Every year in early spring the Discerning the Times Bible Conference  occurs at the Ramada hotel in Saskatoon. There are always several different speakers, one of which is usually a creation science speaker.

The speakers this year were: Carl Kerby, one of the founders of Answers in Genesis  who then branched out and formed Reasons for Hope, Warren Smith,  an author and conference speaker on deception in the churches, Tom McMahon from The Berean Call, and David Hocking from Hope For Today.

All the speakers were very good, but I especially enjoyed Carl Kerby who showed the fallacy and deception that is in the theory of Evolution.

For the last 23 years, Saskatchewan Home Based Educators have had an annual convention. Saskatoon Inn has provided great service for most of the years with the big conference rooms and hotel rooms in one facility. It has usually been there, other than for a few times when it has been in Regina. Our family has gotten more involved in helping organize the convention in the past few years. Our duties this year were:

Performing music for the opening and Grad Ceremony (most of our family played for the opening but we didn’t get a picture).

Mom organized the Home Education Completion Ceremony.

Dad was the MC for the grad. He read the information about the graduates, as they walked up. Levi was supposed to, but the grad started at 6:45 and Levi only got there after 8:00 because of work. Last year there were 17 graduates, but this year there were only 3! Note Dad’s tie. Must be a special occasion!:)

Our family did a Family Ministry Workshop during the convention! Levi was also on a grad panel.

The men (No, we’re not boys) of our family also were responsible to help move the vendors in and back out of the convention hotel.

We had a good time listening to speakers at sessions and visiting with friends in between!
