Well Sunday started out with rain during the night and it rained all day long and was still raining when I called it a day around 10'ish last evening. We needed the rain but a break for a couple hours especially during church time would have been nice, but it was not a deterrent to those who regularly worship at SRBC. Nancy and I worked outside under the porte cochere welcoming visitors and I held the door for both incoming folks and afterwards as they left. We had a missionary from Argentina who came a gave great message on being fervent for the gospel in our daily lives.
I had started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of this post as I've heard nothing to the contrary. We worshipped on line with Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. with Gary Hamrick's son Austin, giving a very good message and then again at our SRBC. The auditorium wasn't filled with a few empty seats but close despite the inclement weather. It had cooled down as well with all this rain. After the service we met up with 2 other couples for a lunch at Carmelitas, a Mexican eatery not far from the church. The food was tasty and the salsas and chips are the best. After eating we made a stop at Sam's to fill up the truck at 3.16 a gallon, once again the price of gas is going up, thanks to this inept potus and his crooked green loving administration.
We came back and I watched some college basketball on the TV until 5'ish then settled into watching videos on the war in Israel and then read until time to get ready for bed. I did watch the final episode on ALONE where a 30 year stayed in the wild alone for some 80 days living off the land and in a make shift hut/leanto and he won half a million bucks. Not bad for nearly 3 months of staying alive in the wild with tons of cold temps and snow.
Well it sounds like the rain has finally stopped for now and its supposed to stay cool for the next couple of days with highs in the 60's which is winter for us. I'm anxious to check the gardens to see how everything did. I have one more day of no pickle ball as the REC is closed for the holiday. I'm still hacking and blowing snot in the morning but I think the cold is getting better, LATER
