Well Sunday started out early for me as I was up at 5:30 and on my bike to the college to help with the load in for BridgePoint Church. We are hoping for a permanent building and something may be in the works sometime this coming year. It sure would make it nice to not have to set up and break down every Sunday. We did that with Cornerstone in Sparta for a year or so until we bought property and built a building.
The service was awesome and we had one of our largest first service crowds with several new faces. We didn't stay for the second service for a chance as we weren't needed to serve so after purchasing soup for the food kitchen and dropping it off we headed home and Nancy dropped me off while she went out to shop. I got a second coat of paint on the one cabinet after eating a peanut butter and onion sandwich then harvested and cleaned greens from the garden for a salad. We were having a get together with 3 other couples at the Botbyl's around 5 and the snack foods would be plentiful.
It started raining around 3'ish and it poured once again almost all evening with occasional flashes of lightning and thunder, yeow most unusual especially during this time of the year. The rain was a welcome as this is normally our dry season and the start of wild fires. We had to drive to our neighbors as it was raining that hard and we were carrying lots of goodies. I had grilled several hot wings and Nancy had salsa and chips as well as fresh baked cookies. There was also meat balls, jalapeno poppers, and several dips plus a veggie tray and then a delicious parfait of chocolate pudding with whipped cream, yeow. We did sit and watch the game as this was a planned Super Bowl Party which turned out to be a close one.
Everyone was Eagles fans as most of them grew up in the Philly area or lived there at one time and while I've never pulled for the Pat's I've watched Brady pull games out of his hat before so I was the antagonist throughout the game and when the Pat's went ahead I rubbed it in as much to their dismay. The QB for the Eagles was a "Tom Brady" as he played magnificently and brought the team back for the win in the final minutes which usually happens the other way. I must say for the final game of the season it was interesting and the dynasty has been stopped by the Eagles. Brady for and older QB was at times precise but the Eagles defense never came him much time to pick out receivers as they rushed him all night. One of the best last games of the year and I was impressed with the attempt of the ads and the NFL to make up for the disgraceful actions by some players towards the military. They may have saved their league with honoring the vets who had achieved the highest award for their service. I thought that was honorable in and of itself. We stayed for the final moments of play then headed out as I'd been up early after a late night the day before, LATER
