"Thank you to everyone involved for an absolutely WONDERFUL blessing this year's GMCHE conference was to me and our family. We loved every moment, from the vendor halls to the talks... everything! Your hospitality, once again, was so inviting and warm. I felt surrounded by love." 
"It was a wonderful conference!!!  I enjoyed just being able to connect with everyone and putting names with faces of people I know, but am not always able to place when conversing on-line."

Who is invited to attend?

Garbage In: Garbage Out: Fulton J. Sheen



"If one puts garbage into the stomachs of children, it will be easy to forecast their health; if moral garbage is put into the minds of children, it is easy to predict how these ideas will become acts."

Human Experience



We are not a movie family. We are more likely to read books. However, the Human Experience was not only engaging, but touching. It is so easy to get caught up in ourselves, but this movie takes us on a journey beyond ourselves. I can't say too much without giving away the story--just view it. We borrowed it from the library, but I am hoping to purchase it.
