Well Friday was another busy day and we celebrated the Good Friday service with hundreds of other volunteers at the main campus of BridgePoint with a supper and a service. Most of us volunteers will work both services on Sunday as we are expecting thousands to attend one of what will soon be 4 campus in Pinellas County.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator lifting up several by name and giving thanks. This first day of the three days which are the most important days of a Christ Follower as Jesus fulfilled GOD's plan to reconcile us back to Him through the crucifixion. It was a day that changed the world for many and for history as well and when you become a believer it will change your life as well. The third day which is Easter and the resurrection from the tomb and death gives us all hope at the end of this earthly life.
I headed out to the rec. on my bike for two hours of pickle ball play and had a good workout. There was an overcast and what looked like storm clouds building and the forecast was for severe weather heading our way so I did some errands until lunch time then waited for the storm to hit. Thankfully it wasn't so severe here but we did get some heavy rain at times with some wind but no tornado's which was predicted due to the conditions. It did cool down considerably after dark. I read part of the afternoon away then helped Nancy with some prep work for the family dinner on Sunday.
We headed down to the main campus of BridgePoint at Tyrone for our Easter service where the staff from all campus did our duties even serving us supper. We reconnected with many we haven't seen in a year where we once served. It was a great time of worship and fellowship and the message was awesome with the usual Easter resurrection theme but with a different spin. Head pastor Tim is a marvelous communicator that leaves you wanting more after the 40 minutes or so. The music was inspiring as well as we lifted our praises in song.
We got back around 9 and I tuned into the Ray's game and they were winning initially but the pitching gave way to the hitters from Boston and they lost for the second night, oh well they are still leading the division at this point in time, LATER
