March 30 – “A blog request …”


I finally found a way to put the link to my blog site on FaceBook where it is accepted as acceptable to their quality control standards.  Whether the all-knowing Big Brother in this case is FaceBook or Google, I still haven’t figured out, but I do know the problem had something to do with the letter “s” and the “triple w” in the address.  Now it seems you can get the direct link if I write it as http://kelleykorner.blogspot.com.  But there still might be a problem.  Chris says when she goes to my FaceBook page, there are no posts at all listed since last Sunday.  They appear when I look at my own page, but she can’t see them.  So here is my request of the day.  Will you please tell me if you can see link from your FaceBook feed or by going to my FaceBook page?  Thanks.

Enough business.  I have to give some kudos to two little boys, about 8 or 10 years old.  They greeted us as we enter the gate for Cailyn’s softball game the other night.  As bold as they come, one of them walked right up to us, handed us a little card, and said, “Will you come to my church?”  The card was about their church’s Easter services.  Nice job, guys.  And nice job to their church for so equipping them. 

Speaking of church, in lieu of home group last night we met up at the church (After the Astros’ opening season game, of course, which they won against the Texas Rangers.  Spring hit his second season opening home run in a row, and Jake Marisnek - Chris’ favorite player, by the way – added another).  We started everything out with prayer to keep us focused.  The praise team was there, practicing for the two Easter services and getting the sound system ready to go.  Some of the group jumped in and started filling Easter eggs for the egg hunt.  I got an office chair put together.  We moved stacks of chairs and set up tables for the breakfast.  Brennan helped unwrap the gifts we have for the sunrise service attenders, and then some others came through and divided them into bags for the “usher types” to hand out on Sunday.  We got one of the downstairs showers cleared out and ready to be used for anyone who gets baptized (or who does the baptizing).  The other one is still full of bottled water for our give-aways.  Tomorrow the Jamaica Beach Volunteer Fire Department will being over a trailer and generator for us to load up and use.  They are also supposed to provide us with some bright lights on the beach.  Their participation is greatly appreciated, especially since our department contact person, Lauren, is down with the flu right now.  Whew.  There is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on to get ready for an event like this one.  I’m sure glad we have a good and powerful God …

Psalms 29:3-4 says, “The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; The God of glory thunders, The Lord is over many waters.  The voice of the Lord is powerful, The voice of the Lord is majestic.”

Father, you are good and powerful.  Please invade every part of this preparation, and then enjoy our praise and thanksgiving when Sunday comes.  Amen.
