I started the day much unusual from my daily starts as on Sunday morning I help with the load in for BridgePoint at the college which means rolling out around 5'ish and then riding my bike to the campus where along with several other dedicated volunteers set the college up for the mornings two worship services. I'm usually back home by 7'ish to get ready after changing clothes and shaving to head out at 8'ish and then we stay depending on our last duty station and help load out until around 12:30. We love serving and love serving with these awesome folks many who have become friends through our life group meeting.
We decided to catch some PDQ food since I had a buy one get one coupon which was expired but they never even looked at the expiration after I pointed it out. They were very busy and actually we both liked their chicken sandwiches and fries better than ChickFilet which is closed on Sundays. We saw our daughter and family along with several of their church friends in the parking lot and we all ate together. It was a great time of fellowship. That meal held me the rest of the day except for a piece of Nancy's decadent chocolate cheesecake around 7'ish. I vegetated on the couch during the afternoon watching the Bucs almost blow a 21 point lead to the Lions but they made some good plays towards the end and won big. At half time I headed out to hand water the gardens. I had harvested a couple messes of Swiss chard for a couple families at church during the early morning hours and noticed despite the overnight coolness the larger plants were somewhat wilted from the hot sunlight. The watering brought them back completely as they are use to two a day waterings.
We headed out around 5:30 for SFBC our old home church where our daughter was born into and has stayed her whole life and has raised her family there as well. All three of her kids were in the children's Christmas program which was so much fun to watch and with the great message of the reason for the season. Sam was the lead kid with lots of memory verses and Eliza Faye took her part very serious as well and Ava the older of the three was a moderator. It was good to reconnect with many we have known over the years including the pastor. I was once a deacon there and then we left when our son Bobby planted a church in Tampa for about 6 years of traveling on Sundays, oh well. We decided to not go back to SFBC after Bobby's divorce and his stepping down as the lead pastor at Element Church.
Well after getting back from SFBC we had our dessert and then I watched a little more NFL before deciding to hit the sack a little before 10, LATER
