Well Wednesday started off on the chilly side with temps close to the upper 40's but it soon warmed up to the 60's by mid morning and maybe even the low 70's by the afternoon. Typically winter weather for Florida. I even sat outside under the oak tree and read for a couple hours basking under the sun shaded oak.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my morning routines that start with some quiet time to honor my Lord, give thanks and lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding at this point. I headed out on my bike to the Rec, finishing up my talk with the Creator on the way to play pickle ball for two hours. Wow, what a workout and then I came home to work around in the gardens and yards. I resowed some Swiss chard and beets which this unknown critter ate off as seedlings as well as another row of 1/2 runner green beans. The garden is just about filled. I have a small egg plant set as well a a couple more blooms. They take such a long time to develop but oh so delicious when fried or in a parmesan.
I read and watched some travel blogs until supper time and then we got ready to head over to S.R.B.C. for a new members class and WOW do they ever have a family of community based program of believers. The campus is huge and they have it all from nursery to senior programs and no debt of any kind. They are supporting of several missionaries and the start of another campus in Pasco county which is several miles north of us. I'm looking forward to plugging in with this congregation that is community minded but yet speaks the WORD with no cultural wokeism. They are an independent Baptist church so no allegiance to the convention and they choose their folks on the mission field to support as well as many local organization including Keswick School which is near and dear to our hearts. They are big supporters of the foster programs as well as single moms with financial support while sharing the gospel.
It was close 8:30 after getting back from our first week of meeting for the new members class. We had around 20 or so who had signed up for this 4 week class and we took a tour of the campus as well on this chilly evening. I soon hit the hot shower and read until bedtime, LATER
