Well Sunday was another hot and dry day with lots of sunshine and no rain. We sure could use some as everything had dried up. Thankfully my well seems to have plenty of water as I hand water the gardens daily some times twice a day and I even set the sprinkler on the front yard last evening for an hour in hopes to get a little green in what grass is left.
The morning started out much like most morning except it was worship day so after my routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing I tuned into Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. to hear Gary Hamrick. He along with our pastor Derek at S.R.B.C. give us great messages of hope and reality. Nancy and I worked the new guest welcoming table outside where it was blazing hot. They want me to work there as much as possible due to my law enforcement experience and even asked me if I would work both services at least once a month as well. I agreed I would as we already have at least one uniform officer on site and several plain clothes volunteers who are prior LEO's inside as well. Churches will be the next to attract shooters and evil in this society as now all schools have increased their security on campus. Sad to say but the evil in our culture is rampart.
After the service we met in the fellowship building which use to a whole church building many years ago and its huge with a great kitchen. Nancy and I have helped with a Christmas program there last year and it holds tons of folks and yesterday the church catered a meal for all veterans and their spouses from Sonny's barbecue. The food was excellent and delicious which held me the rest of the day. Their was recognition of all the branches of the service and we had a WWI veteran who was a 105 years young who gave a talk and answered many questions and who acted like a young 80 year old. He had a walker but pushed it himself and was quite spry for his age and his mind was excellent. What an honor to greet and meet him who was in the service before Pearl Harbor was bombed.
We came back and I vegetated on the couch watching the Bucs actually win a game as well as a couple other games. I did head out after the game to hand water some seedlings and to set the sprinkler on the front yard. Amy and Tyler came by and brought Rocky who we hadn't seen since being home. He is a bull in China closet when he comes in the house and he loves to ride in the back of their pickup truck. It seems the family entertained a new boy friend of Ava's last evening for supper and now we learned Sam even has a girl friend. We met a nice 4th grader at church who is in Eliza's class at school. I'm so glad they are attracting opposites unlike what this woke culture is promoting with their gay lifestyle.
Well Nancy made a carrot cake for our small group meeting Monday evening and we are soon to start watching Ava and the girls basketball team play on Tuesday evening in an away game. We will ride with Tyler. I have a couple VA appointments this afternoon after pickle ball this morning, LATER
