Well Sunday was an awesome day of worship and then we headed over to Indian Rocks beach with cousins Chris and Bill along with GG where we had an awesome supper out on the patio at Kegans Seafood eatery where we listened to a very talented one man band. What a beautiful setting and the food was very good.
I started the day around a 5'ish rollout as I wanted to be at the Rec. to help set up the church for our initial launch of this new Seminole campus for Bridgepoint Church. We had a very large crowd of volunteers over the course of the morning as several of us unloaded a huge truck packed with large roll on cases. We set up the kids area, cafe, greeters areas, sound system, the parking lot with flags and message boards and at 9:30 headed in to the worship area where we heard Pastor Tom preach a super message via video. This will be the same scene next week as we want to get this down before we actually invite the public on Easter morning and then every week until we find a permanent building as we are committed to this for the next 6 months. We have some very organized leaders and they are dedicated to bringing the Gospel message to Seminole in a powerful way. We are a community of believers and want to share with those who are missing out on what "community" really means with JESUS and his teachings as the center piece.
We left just the Rec. just before noon as I had been there since about 6:15 AM with Dan and then Nancy came around 8:30 with Carol. We met up with the Tracy's at Applebee's for a delicious lunch and met the new girl who has moved in with the Botbyl's temporarily until she can get on her feet permanently. She is a graduated from the ETC program which gave her a second chance in life as is now working as a server at this eatery. She did good and seems like a very nice person who got messed up with the wrong friends.
We started making plans for our trip on Wednesday Morning as we put together some things to take back to the mountains. We are anticipating on leaving here and staying over two nights at the cabin before heading north to see Paw Paw and then being there when his surgery occurs on Monday. Hopefully if all goes well we will head back to the cabin on Wed. or Thurs. for an overnight stay before heading back to Florida. We are hopefully picking up the new Ford truck on Monday afternoon and seeing if it will fit in the garage as we were just were able to get the '06 inside.
We had a great meal on the beach with Chris, Bill and GG and enjoyed sitting outside until the sunset with very comfortable temps and great music from the 60's from a one man band at Kegan's. We will take them to the airport this morning for their plane ride back to chilly Lancaster, Pa. Well that was about it for the day as it wasn't long before I was ready for some horizontal lab around 10'ish, LATER
