We heard the final totals on Seaside’s
fund-raiser for missions that happened on Saturday. All those hot potatoes and pulled pork and
sweet baked goods generated over $1400.
Not bad, Jamaica Beach folks. Not
bad at all. Thank you all for being a
part of this one.
We
had quite a few leftover potatoes and plenty of pulled pork, so we had an
impromptu dinner on the grounds yesterday after church. Lots of folks stayed, too. Chris and I enjoyed our meal with two of the
visitors to Galveston. They were from San
Antonio. Well, one was originally from
Guatemala by way of San Antonio. The
other was a student at Texas A&M. He
showed off his newly-acquired college ring.
That ring means a lot to those A&M students, so he has plenty to be
proud of.
I did something rather unusual in the
afternoon. I turned on the Houston
Texans football game. I don’t think I
have seen one of their games all year.
Still haven’t seen all of one.
Yep, I confess. There was some
dozing going on. I saw most of the game,
though. We tried watching some of the
Dallas Cowboys game, too. After the
Packers scored twice in a row unanswered, we decided to try something
different. We watched the movie “Yesterday.” That’s the one where a guy gets hit by a bus
and when he wakes up nobody else in the whole world can remember the
Beatles. Or Harry Potter. It was a fun take on that “what-if.” It actually played pretty well as a romantic
comedy, too. Very light and easy to
watch. Unlike the movie our neighbors saw. Cory and Janell went to the theater to take
in “The Joker.” They stopped by after
and told us a little about it, being careful not to drop any spoilers on
us. Sounded like a pretty dark origin
story of a character’s descent into madness.
I want to see it. Chris? Not so much.
Guess I’ll wait for the DVD.
James 4:17 says, “If anyone, then knows the
good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Father, thank you for the folks who donated
to our missions effort on Saturday.
Bless them for that. Amen.
