Good Sunday

Today is drawing to a close, and God has blessed us with an extra good day. Our worship assembly this morning was lively, and people seemed to connect with the songs as well as Brice's message in our series, Answering the Call.

Bruce and Sandy invited me and several others to lunch. The food was wonderful, and the visiting was even better. One couple (Bob and Susan Russell) are full-time RVers who've been on the road pretty much since September 2001. They travel to an area they want to visit and stay for 6 months, plugging into a local church and seeing the sights. This will be a good area for them... lots to see within a few hours drive. The really interesting thing about the Russells is that they are from the Nashville area and were members at the Antioch congregation for years. Need to see if Kent remembers them.

Virginia made it safely home from Sacramento, and her final certification class was apparently a good one. She made it home and started getting packed for her two weeks in Orange County. I hope she enjoys this training as well... two weeks is a long time to commit to something that's not useful or enjoyable.

Our small group came about 6:00. I had made a pig pot of sort of a minestrone soup, and the others brought bread, salad and dessert. We ate and visited and laughed and then spent some time talking about Christians in areas of the world where they're persecuted. We looked at a video and talked about it. This week I'll email some bios and country information; we'll pray about them during the week, and next Sunday we'll talk about our experiences in prayer and pray for these Christians in other countries.

Well, VJ has a 6:00 flight in the morning, so that means getting up really early in order to get her there by 5:00 or so. Better start heading toward the bed.
