Our Monday in Music City, USA began with a walk to the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum (www.countrymusichalloffame.com)! Neither of us would be considered a full-blown C/W fan (though we have dabbled a bit) but trust us, this is a museum that everyone can get something from!! A highlight was the guided tour of the famous "Studio B," the recording studio where among others, Elvis, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers recorded many of their hits. The museum itself is a stroll down memory lane and has numerous "wow" moments around every turn.
After a nosh at a famous local BBQ restaurant, Jake's on Broadway, we made our way to the First Baptist Church to pick up our registration materials for the Festival of Homiletics (www.festivalofhomiletics.com). Belinda decided that she wanted to take a break from the tourist activities so she headed back to the hotel to rest up for the big night to come. Charles chose to take in a few more museums, so off he went!

His first stop was the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame (www.tshf.net/index.htm), a very nice display of sporting legends from all over the state, from many sports, and levels of sport. Next up, the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum (www.musicianshalloffame.com), a new museum that offers a glimpse at creative people from a wide variety of musical styles.
Realizing that a full evening was on tap, Charles returned to gather up Belinda and together they returned to the Church and thoroughly enjoyed the worship and first presentation. There is so much to learn and being around over 1,600 preachers is a exciting propisition.
After the evening session was over, we came back to the hotel and ended up going out to eat with Rev. John and Sylvia Poe (from Iowa). It was great to hear their stories and share ours!
Tomorrow, we will continue with the conference, so come on back!
