Sunday Morning

Well Saturday was another warm one and the humidity is still around however the evenings are very nice with a gentle cool breeze as it drops down into the upper 50's and 60's overnight. We were planning on meeting with our new Life Group from BridgePoint around 5'ish for a supper and gift exchange. I started the morning outside with an impromptu pickle ball game with three other good players for a couple hours.

The day for me started with my usual 6'ish rollout to a cup of hot tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. The update on GG isn't getting any better as she continues to have breathing issues from the congestive heart failure and possibly another UTI. Our dear friend Joe from the mountains is also having serious health issues and is back in the hospital now with pancreatitis and isn't doing well at all at the age of 90. He needs lots of prayer for comfort as he is in a lot of pain and discomfort as well as his sister our "mountain mom" who checks on him and took him to the hospital. Everyone else is doing OK at this point in time as best we have heard.

I got a call around 8:15 from three of my pickle ball buddies that they were at the Rec. and didn't get word the gym was closed for basketball so they set up the net outside on a basketball court which had been converted with the lines painted for one PB court. So I hightailed up there and we played several sets outside for a couple hours. Outside PB is a completely different game with a different ball which requires you to play a much softer dink and dunk play. The hard ball does not allow you to use the power game as the ball flies out of bounds. There were some good rallies and the exercise was awesome as well. The use of the lob is limited as well with the outside play which is used in the gym as an offensive tactic, anyhow we had some great play and being outside was rather a plus with the lighting conditions.

Nancy had made a huge fresh salad as well as her mousse tarts to take to the Life Group. There were at least 25-30 folks there and the house we visited was huge; over 3 thousand square feet. It seems this has become the party house so to speak as all attendees were over 60 plus and most were retired as well. We did a fun gift exchange after eating and getting to know many who are also volunteers on Sunday morning at BridgePoint. We had lots of "in common" associates from Indian Rocks Church were many of these who now attend BridgePoint came from. It was a fun time and the Italian Food theme was awesome with finger food to soups to Lasagna. The desserts were many and very tasty as well. We each introduced our selves and told a little about our life. How we came to the church, our kids and grand kids as well as hobbies, etc.

Well we got home around 9'ish and I settled into some college ball and then read a little before lights out at 10'ish. Today is corporate worship day or as Bobby likes to say a day of "gathering of believers" to worship, praise and honor our GOD. We are a blessed nation and even more so since He had a hand in defeating the corrupt Clinton Family in the last election. Their corruption runs deep into many departments of the government with their desire for power and money and even into the FBI and DOJ as seen by this special prosecutor and the last director of the bureau who is doing their best to bring down our POTUS Mr. Trump with this collusion accusation of the Russians and the last election which was started by Hillary herself, LATER
