Today’s entry will be a short one. I have to be at the softball fields at the
airport before 8:00. I have been asked
to say a prayer before the benefit tournament for one of the fire fighter
families begins. It will be the
culmination of a weekend of events designed to help out this young couple. Friday night the fire fighters held a benefit
barbeque and silent auction that seemed to go well. Barbecue chicken, rice and beans. Bouncy house for the kids. The food was great and there were lots of
items up for bid. I haven’t heard yet
how much they received, but I know any amount will be greatly appreciated. This particular family is a little closer
than most because Mom and Dad both went to Seaside as teenagers. That makes them twice family. They had a premature little baby girl with
multiple problems, so their medical bills are already pretty high and promise
to continue as she grows and needs different surgeries. So, when you combine Seasiders with fire
fighters and there is also baseball involved, I gotta be there.
Today is also the seventeenth anniversary
of Seaside’s constitution as a church.
We are not doing any kind of big celebration or anything. In fact I’m probably the only one who
remembers things like that around Seaside.
Although I did put Happy Anniversary on our sign last week. I’m doing a business-type report about the
state of the church, so I just put together a little booklet to package the
information in. The booklet has a bunch
of pictures from Seaside’s past as well.
My favorite page has pictures of some of our college students as they
look now and back when they were five or six.
Should be lots of fun.
Psalms 103:8 says, “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in
love.”
Father, thank you for your patience. Amen.
