Women of Faith - Part 3

The first two photos here didn't really fit with another category but I wanted to share anyway.


This photo was taken on Friday at the pre-conference. Again, all photos in these posts are courtesy of my wonderful sister who has a MUCH better digital camera than I do!!! ;-) Friday's pre-conference was general admission seating. THIS is how high we were & how far away we were. You can also see the draping behind the stage. On Saturday that was gone & the entire stadium seating that you can see behind that which is empty was FULL of women. In fact, there were a number of women way up in the balcony as well. Thank goodness they had the big megatron monitors. ;-)
Here we all are at Friday lunch. A lady in front of us was nice enough to take our photo. I'm on the left in white, my sister is in the middle & our great friend Tammy is on the end. We had SUCH a great time together at this conference & can't wait to go back next year.


Patsy Clairmont spoke both Friday & Saturday. Wow does this lady have some energy!!! She's just a little powerhouse. Her talks were very good. So good I actually bought her book. She has great comedic timing & we always laughed during her talks. I found a short video on YouTube that has Patsy plugging the very book I bought. I have yet to really delve in to it, but it's definitely on my to do list. Once I do, I'll be sure to post a review.


I'm going to just admit right now that Patsy, Anita & Nicole Johnson plus the singing were my absolutely very bits of the whole conference. However, that's not to say I didn't enjoy the rest, but I may not have as much to say! ;-)

Marilyn Meberg was another great speaker. Again, all of the speakers did a great job of mixing comedy with truth & it made for very enjoyable listening.


Steve Arterburn is the founder of the Women of Faith tours. He spoke on Friday night & was also very good. After seeing so many women up on that stage though it was a bit odd! LOL

Sheila Walsh was another speaker on Friday night & Saturday for the main conference. Again very good. She did a funny talk when her son "broke in" to give her a message (via video). Very cute. She is also an excellent singer.


Louise Duart was the last speaker on Saturday. What a funny lady!!! She's a fantastic impressionist. She did a Cher impression that was priceless but I think my favorite was when she did Milton Berle! Really, really funny! She also does a fantastic impression of Carol Burnett. In fact, she shared with us how she had done one that Carol Burnett herself was able to view & she was able to meet her in person. Here's a cute & short clip from YouTube for a quick little laugh.





She also talked about her first marriage which broke up after her husband had an affair & asked for a divorce. She has since remarried & her & her new husband have written a book called Couples Who Pray & they challenge couples to pray for 40 days for five minutes a day. Below is the link plus an interview they did on the 700 club. Check it out. It's really good.

  1. Great post and what an inspirational time it must have been. It is so refreshing to be around other people, with similar beliefs, all getting spiritually charged.

    My only question - how long was the wait to go to the bathroom? :-)

Oh thank goodness! I'm not here all alone. Thanks for leaving me a comment. It helps that I'm not always talking to myself. Right? Hello?
