Well, well, well, all I can say is that the days with author Jonathan Richardson have definitely been full of excitement and engaging conversation.
We began the day a little later today with a lunch discussion at Subway Restaurant in Pearl, MS. There we were joined by Stanley Clark (President of For The People Productions) and book club members Robin Gardner and Diane Johnston. As we ate the various topics of the book were discussed---as well as the areas where we agree to be disagree on how issues affect us.
From that discussion we went right into a similar one during the forum held at Richard Wright Library. Librarian Debra Gilbert went out of her way to make us feel as home, and we did! Thanks to all those who attended, including members of Savvy Book Club.
Next it was off to a very intimate gathering of missionaries and lovers of people, thanks to the hospitality of Dr. Charlie Gaulden and the organization Kindling Spirits. There we met with people of different races and age groups, all united in their desire to see things better for the people around them. After prayer and a hearty meal, there was genuine fellowship and togetherness---concluding with inspirational singing.
With no break in sight we were then off to Subway Restaurant in Pearl,MS again for the weekly Spoken Word Conversations. There we were blessed by the beautiful dancing of our own "Dance Minister", Robin Gardner, and we then finished with an hour discussion with Richardson about the book.
Finally, we ended the day at the PEG Network (Channel 18) with Ken Stiggers. There we taped a 6-minute interview that will be available shortly to you all worldwide. A perfect end to a great day.
Don't forget that we have one more event left: the "Inspirational Conversations" Book Club this Sunday evening at 6p.m. at Subway Restaurant. This will conclude our 3-day adventure with Richardson. Hope to see you there!
