Monday Morning

Well Sunday was a great day of worship at BridgePoint that started with a 5 o'clock wake up as I headed out a little before 6 to the college on my bike to help with the load in and set up for the service that started at 9:30 and then again at 11. We had a great group of both men and women who volunteer every Sunday Morning to assist with this endeavor. The work was meant for one thing and that is to "help folks get closer to GOD"and we had a good turn out for both services. Not as many as on Easter Morning but many new faces and volunteers.

We served the first service and then sat in on the second one too hear a great message titled "mixtap"by Tim our lead pastor. It's archived if your interested in hearing it at bridgepointfl.com. The worship music was all inspiring as well.We didn't stick around after the service to help with the load out as I had been there since 6. I'm already looking to teach someone to take my place in June during the load in as each of us volunteers do certain things as well as helping out with different tasks when needed. It's usually takes and hour and half before we head back home to get ready for the 8:30 meeting before the 9:30 service. The band comes as do the production team and sets up the stage as they run through their musical parts. It's quite a production and each volunteer is much needed to make this weekly program work.

We left around 12;30 and settled into a garden fresh salad for lunch at home as the Botbly's were unavailable for lunch out and then I settled in to watch the Ray's blow a 7-2 lead in the 8th against the Red Sox. It's going to be a long season this year as they have no pitching staff. It down right shameful the team let almost all our good pitching staff and players go. I really could care less about attending a game this year but I think our life group is planning on an outing so I may be forced to go and watch this hapless team.

We settled into an old movie on HBO called Private Benjamin with Goldie Hawn and it was a hoot to say the least and then we took off on a hike through the hood. The humidity is back with rain clouds but no more rain but it was pleasant outside. We invited the new neighbors over for a garden seminar and they invited us in to see their remodel so far in the old Heckman house. The mother of the young woman went to school with Nancy at Seminole High back in the day and they are very delightful folks. I set the sprinklers on the new grass and plugs in the front yard. It looks as if it's really starting to take off and grow.

I hit the shower then read until it was lights out for me around 10'ish. Today is pick up the new Crepe Myrtle tree at the nursery and plant it hopefully in the rotted out section of the old oak stump. That will at least give the yard some decoration which looks so bare, LATER
