Well Sunday really got hot and humid so we turned the a/c back on until the next cold front heads our way. Last week we had the heat on and now it's back to the a/c while the north is digging out from 6 feet of snow, yeow. We started the day with a 6'ish roll out as we were making food to take to Element for the quarterly Table. That is where we all bring some food to share with others and we not only partake of some good eatin' but share some personal highs and lows. What an awesome morning we had after our worship in music. We had a really nice crowd in attendance and heard some moving testimonies of what GOD is doing in the lives of these folks in the Tampa Bay area.
Today was also Shoe Box Sunday for those who participated in filling shoe boxes for the needy kids over seas. We had one house church member who volunteered to have a pie in the face to the house church that filled the most boxes. We had such a fun time after the service as whipped cream pies were squished into and around his face. I would estimate our church filled close to a hundred shoe boxes for Samaritans Purse which speaks a lot to the generosity of our small group of folks. I must say Jordan Thurmond did an excellent job with handling the pies in the face and silly putty.
The food was very good with everything from egg dishes, fruit, pigs in a blanket, pastries, dips and pies. Yikes was it every tasty and we had plenty of leftovers as well. We moved all of the chairs out afterwards so the floor could be cleaned by our volunteer cleaning crew as well. I see a lot of resemblance between the folks here and at our mountain church Cornerstone with their hearty participation and camaraderie.
We got back to the house just before 1 PM so it was watch some NFL on the tube for me. The Bucs played a decent first half and was winning 10-0 over the Bears but something happened in the second half that was consistent with the bumbling Bucs. They played like a high school team or either threw the game as it was down right terrible. I'm so surprised as last week they played like real pros for the whole game in beating a decent Redskin team in their stadium, oh well. So much for my enthusiasm for pro football.
I noticed my beans and peas have put on a second leaf during the day as they like these warm temps. I also noticed some of the Zinnias seeds I sowed last week are showing some color as well. We love Zinnias and they one of the hardiest flowers I know of especially in the cold weather. When we had the snow at the cabin a couple weeks back they were still looking hardy while blanketed in the cold wet white stuff. Well I have lost a couple of the kale plants I brought back but everything else is producing new leaves, especially the beets, collards and Swiss chard. Well that was about it for this day. I hope you took the time to worship, give thanks and pray for our nation as we once more are getting ready to celebrate this coming week one of our founding fathers greatest recognition's to our nation, Thanksgiving Day, LATER
