Well Sunday was an awesome day of worship first here at the house with watching Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. and then our own pastor at Starkey Road Church with our neighbors and friends. Both pastors had great messages and afterwards we headed down to the Tyrone Mall area for lunch at the Bonefish Grille.
I started out the day with a before 6 rollout which is my usual routine that start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and lift up several by name, all seem as well as can be expected due to ages and health issues. I headed out to hand water the gardens on the chilly morning with temps in the 50's which is spring time in the mountains but winter time here in usually hot, humid, sunny Florida. We learned this Christmas will be coldest in 20 some years as temps will be some where in the 50's. Already we smell wood smoke in the air as neighbors have fires both inside and outside in their yards.
Our pastor spoke on the last of the OT minor prophets and his prophecy to the Israelites and will after Christmas start on the NT. Many pastors and churches are not preaching on the OT and saying it not relative to life these days, but we are in the times when America and the world is seeing many of those prophecies coming true. There is such evil in the world and we are in for a rebuking by GOD as the prophets predicted, oh well.
The lunch with the Tracy's and Botbyl's was delicious at the Tyrone Bonefish. We hadn't dined there in over a year and while the prices have increased the food was still great. I had my usual bowl of chowder and bang bang shrimp and Nancy her usual trout. The bread is so good as well and I broke down and consumed too much. The meal held us the rest of the day. I spent the rest of the day watching the NFL and the Bucs once again played well in the first half but went to sleep in the second half blowing a 17 point lead and lost by that much again. Seriously they should not be leading their division but because everyone else is terrible in that division they are going to make the playoffs, LATER
