I’m writing from an undisclosed adults-only location here at the Charlotte Convention Center.  I just wanted to write a quick note to say hello to all of my new friends.  National Fine Arts Festival (not attached to General Council) is a new experience for me and I’ve certainly learned a few new things while here.

1.  If you’re giving away free hugs, apparently it’s OK for you to hug complete strangers. 

2.  There’s a Children’s Sermon category.  I think that’s AWESOME!  If you’re entered in this category, let me know.  I’m impressed.

3.  I met a girl who does a puppetry solo using seven (7) different puppets.   I’m convinced there’s magic involved somehow.  Also quite impressive!

Anyway, I’m having a blast!  Since I don’t have Wi-Fi at the hotel, pictures will follow soon.  So glad for who I’ve met so far and can’t wait to meet even more of you!
