Long overdue, is this post. On the first weekend of October Sonya and I went to the ZOE conference in Nashville with a bunch of peeps from Farragut. This has been a highlight of our year for the past three times that we've been. The Conference has 2 parts to it; Leadership and Worship. The worship part of the conference is coordinated and led by The ZOE Group, from the Otter Creek Church. It was an incredible conference and God is doing some incredible things through His church.
Below, is a picture of a painting that was done during one of the speaker's presentations. It depicts the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel. In this story, Jacob's name is changed to Israel, because he has fought with God and men and had won. He names the place Peniel, which translates to "Face of God", because he saw the face of God and lived. (*Pictures were taken from the ZOE Group blog as ours were accidentally deleted.)
This sculpture was created by Jack Maxwell, the same artist that painted the above picture. The sculpture is called "Jacob's Dream" and was inspired by the story of the same name from Genesis 28. This is actually only a model of the massive sculpture that was erected this past year. Find out more about the sculpture here.
After the conference, Sony and I traveled to West Nashville to spend the afternoon with our dear friends Elijah and Andrea Manor. They have a beautiful little girl, Abby. This was the first time we had met her and we had a wonderful time. The Manor's were very close friends at Harding and we sort-of lost touch over the years as we moved to Michigan, then Tennessee and they moved from Arkansas to Tennessee. Now, we're only separated by about 3 hours of road and we look forward to seeing more of them. Here's a picture of us on their front porch.
