During a break in the clergy gathering today Charles went for a walk in the neighborhood around the church.  He didn't have time to make a full visit to the Emerson Cultural Center but if the inside is anything like what is outside, there is some cool stuff inside!

Clergy gathering in Bozeman
Charles left Stevensville early this morning, bound for Bozeman (four hours east on I-90) for the annual gathering of the Yellowstone Conference's clergy.  It is always fun to be at these gatherings and Charles is looking forward to the next couple of days here in Bozeman!

Another painting done!

Charles submitted his first still-life on Tuesday in his painting class, a humble effort but it came a long way in a short time!
