We had
a great day at Seaside yesterday. Sixty
people filled the room with praising and worshipping. And meanwhile, another large group met up in
the retreat center doing a Bible study and worship time of their own. We returned to the study of the Book of Acts
that we left back in December to enter the realm of Christmas teachings. It felt good to get back into the swing of
things. Not that I don’t enjoy
Christmas, mind you. I just really like
studying the Book of Acts. It’s all
about loving the church.
Two ladies
took the offer of our creative ministry hairstylist after church. Suzann cut their hair and they paid the church
whatever they would ordinarily pay her.
Great ministry, Suzann.
Chris
and I joined a few other Seasiders for lunch at Nate’s, the local eatery there
in the West End. And two other Seasiders
were already there enjoying lunch. And before
we left two more came in and said hello.
It was good to see familiar faces, especially since there were Green Bay
Packers fans decked out in their team regalia on one side of us, and Pittsburgh
Steeler fans on the other side of us. I
know they didn’t play each other, but it was shaping up to be a “football crowd
at the restaurant” Sunday. As it turned
out both of those sets of fans were bitterly disappointed in defeat later in the
afternoon. We even watched some of each
game when we got home. That would be
between the nap we both took (still
recovering from the late night trip home from Waco) and the season finale
episode of The Librarians that we
watched on TV. Great show, by the way. Very fun premise.
I’m not
sure why I was awake so early this morning.
Five a.m. and I was wide awake. I
managed to stall until 5:30, but I finally gave in and got up. Looks like today will be spent battling a
sore throat, working on the computer, and probably making a fruit run to
WalMart. Maybe I can get another nap in
there somewhere. I don’t think I’m recovered
enough yet from our trip …
Colossians
1:10-12 says, “And we pray this in order
that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being
strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have
great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has
qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of
light.”
Father,
thank you for a great day at church.
Keep on drawing folks to yourself.
Amen.
