AMHERST – Outside, the world was raging. But inside, they were safe.

Outside, there were wars, known and unknown. There were men with guns and hearts full of hate. There were trials and temptations, liars and blasphemers. There were squabbles over earthly things — money, oil and power — that brought nations to their knees.

Inside, they had peace and unity. They had their iPads with their verses and their books of scripture. They had their shared songs and stories. They had their Brothers and Sisters. They had each other and the love of Jehovah.   Kristina and Nathan Steffenhagen, along with their daughters Estella and Sienna, were among more than 5,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses to join in Amherst this weekend for the regional New England convention. The gathering at the Mullins Center overlapped with a terrorist attack in France, a military overthrow in Turkey and a shooting of police in Louisiana — events in a recent string of violence and turbulence.

Enjoyable read. This morning, I enjoyed going back and reliving the excitement and anticipation we felt for our 2016 RC. Good thing to do. It's an opportunity to see if I still kept that feeling with me. I had it recorded, but lost the recordings when I replaced my iPad. So, this site just became more valuable. Where else can one go back and relive the anticipation and the highlights of the convention? I thank you, friends.
