Well Monday was a busy fun filled day that ended with a performance from the Sozo Children's Choir from Uganda, Africa at the main campus of BridgePoint. These are children who have been saved from a life of despair, poverty and disease in a country where many were homeless with no future except death. Our church partnerships with them in helping to provide all of the amenities of life as well spiritual help by sharing the Word and the love of GOD through Jesus Christ. It was a two hour worship service at times and a personal time of sharing by each child with their knowledge and yet they were still Ugandan's while singing in their language and clothing. They were not being Americanized but simply being native while experiencing the love of GOD and sharing that back into their villages with help from Americans.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some time in thanksgiving with my Creator. All is well with those who I left up by name each morning and we are so glad for that. At least the winter freeze up North has thawed and now the beginning of Spring is a bit premature while still in the month of February with too much warm temps. I sure hope we don't get another freeze since lots of the flowers are starting pop up in the mountains, oh well. It has been an usual winter with such cold temps and snow and now this shift towards such warm temps while still in this winter month.
I got in two good hours of pickle ball and left with a wet head and shirt around 10. I headed home to to water the gardens and do some touch up painting in the bathroom until lunch time. Nancy made a guacamole for lunch and afterwards I headed into the reading room for a couple hours. I was whupped from the workout as it was my first since back on the courts since last Thursday. I managed a nap after Amy and Eliza left for the day then we got ready to pickup the Botbyl's around 5'ish for a ride down to the Texas Roadhouse for supper on our way to the concert at BridgePoint. You never leave that place hungry and the service was awesome as well. Nancy left a big portion of her meal which was a shame as we had no way to keep it from spoiling since we would be at the church until after 9.
We met up with the Tracy's at the church and entered the lines waiting to enter the building. Every seat was filled when the show started with an overflow room which had a live video. The place was packed and the show was very entertaining. These kids will do 90 performances while here in the states as they are on a fund raising tour to continue with their building of homes and a village in the heart of Uganda, Africa for kids. BridgePoint offered to purchase at least two homes at 70 grand a piece as well as committed to funding at least a 100 kids at 35 bucks a month plus the love offering they raised this night. The generosity of this church is overwhelming and they put their money where their hearts are in supporting the mission of sharing the love of Christ not only here but abroad, LATER
