Well Sunday was an awesome day that started very early for me with the before 6 AM load in at St.Pete College for BridgePoint Church with several other volunteers, as we transformed the college into a church settings. These folks are so dedicated to our weekly event that if has become almost a part of life and sad to think this may stop once and when we are able to get a permanent building. I truly love the camaraderie. Nancy and I both love serving and worshiping with such fantastic folks who love helping folks get closer to GOD. We will miss these Sunday's with these great folks and besides missing our grand babies these will be missed most.
We served both services but did worship together in the first service. The praise and worship music was so inspiring and our associate pastor brought the message to day. He is a good speaker as well but there is something about Tim's messages that cut to the core. All of our leaders are good speakers and leaders and we are blessed to have the same message delivered to us each Sunday via tele- communications. Each campus which will soon be 4 starting later this year have exceptional leadership as we attempt to reach Pinellas County for Christ. This county needs the Lord as well as most of the nation as somehow the nation has allowed anti-christians into the government and into main stream liberal thinking. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles despite what the last fraud and fake of a potus obama said in his speeches. This nation is in decay because of his muslim philosophy and radical thinking with the PC crowd. It has destroyed public education, respect for law enforcement and the military. Enough of my ramble but I love this nation as I traveled all over the world during my USAF days and the liberals dem's are doing their best to destroy it.
Well we headed to Outback which is just minutes down the road for our one meal of the day with Dan and Carol. The food was delicious as always and we have so many eateries to choose from just minutes away from our house. That is one thing we will miss at the cabin as nothing is just minutes away but there are so fine down home cooking places and a great pizzeria in the town of Sparta which we usually visit after our church service at Cornerstone on Sundays. We won't know how to act as we become chair setters showing up at 10 in the AM and then leaving shortly before noon, oh well. We have some very close friends there and we do love our pastor there as well. It's just a slower atmosphere but we are the closet church to what we have at BridgePoint in the county. Our pastor is bi-vocational and while we do not have Sunday School they do have what we call is KidsPoint where all the youngsters meet during the message; they do have Sunday evening programs for the kids and some outside occasions and events we get to serve at. So we aren't completely chair setters.
We sort of napped and I read on a James Lee Burke book titled the Glass Rainbow for a couple hours since the Ray's game was postponed due to rain. We got ready around 5:30 and headed out to our old church at SFBC where daughter Amy and her family attend. Grandson Sam who is 9 was the main character in a spring program of the elementary kids titled Faith News Network. Eliza Faye our youngest grand daughter at 5 was one of the animals on the Ark along with other 3-5 year olds. It was a cute program and very entertaining with lots of memorization by the kiddos. I thought how apropos with the FNN as we could use more of and a whole lot less of than the biased fake network of CNN. We visited with several old friends and still members there as we once worshipped there and worked in the kitchen for most of our married life. We still have fond memories and many friends there.
We skipped the taco bar afterwards as the noon meal was huge and then we headed out just before dark. It was a great day with friends fellow lovers of the Lord and good eatin' for lunch. I watched a documentary on Magellan on You Tube by the BBC until it was close to bed time. I almost forgot to mention we had some severe weather around noon with tornado warnings, strong winds and heavy much needed rain which cooled things down just a bit. I'm afraid the summer doldrums are upon us with heat and humidity and just another reason to head to the high country in N.C. The mornings there are in the 50's with lows in the 70's. The pictures show green grass and lots of leaves and fresh air no one has ever breathed before, LATER
