On the Ground in DC

It's been a busy, hectic and fun day getting to and getting around in Washington D.C. today.

We arrived about 4:30 pm local time this afternoon and I got some nice pics as we flew in nearly over the National Mall. On our way to our hotel, our taxi driver was an Ethiopian Christian, a really neat guy. With the way Muslims come down on Christians there, you really have to be serious about your faith to be a Christian.

Got a look at the White House at a distance as we went to a reception where Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family was being honored by Maaynei Ha'Yeshua Medical Center from Israel. They gave him a shofar for his commitment to the defense of life.

Below is a pic from the reception (it's a little blurry; the guy taking the pic wasn't used to my camera); from the left you have Mike Causey of Calvary Baptist Church in Rapid City, Senator Dennis Schmidt (Dist. 33 South Dakota), Bob Fischer, Dale Bartscher of the South Dakota Family Policy Council, some guy who's way out of his league, then Dr. Dobson on the right.



We've had several impromptu meetings and discussions about what's coming up in the next few days, and I've met lots of interesting people. I chatted a bit with one of the leaders of the National Right to Life group, and had a good conversation with one of the co-leaders of the Minutemen who are working to secure our borders. And others too.

Well, it's after midnight and it's an early morning to a long day tomorrow. I still don't know the exact logistics of how I'll be blogging, etc.(we registered late), but hopefully that will be worked out at some time in the early morning.

Good night from the nation's capital!
