It was an overcast, damp day. Sounds like a start to one of Snoopy’s novels, I know. Although he usually begins, “It was a dark and stormy night.” No storm here. And it was a Sunday morning. Just overcast and damp.
We
still set up for church outside under the building. I did announce, however, that our goal date to
move back inside is November 15th.
That’s just a few weeks away. It
will also be the third Sunday of the month, so we’ll have dinner on the grounds
as well. Big steps, right? Wear a mask if you will be more
comfortable.
Yesterday
afternoon we went back up to the church for two reasons. Number one was to see a long-time Seasider
who moved to Tomball, Ed Jackson. His
daughter was bringing him back to town to vote since he is still registered at
their house here. Always great to see a
Seasider wherever they may pop up.
The
second reason was to vote ourselves.
Since my back surgery is on November 2nd, I probably won’t be
too excited about getting to the polls on the 3rd. There was a steady stream of voters, but no
one ever had to wait in line. It took
maybe five minutes from arrival to exit to get it done. So, check that one off the list for 2020.
We
stuck around outside to wait while Ed finished up voting. That’s when Chris noticed a golf cart. Now that’s not an unusual sight by any means
in Jamaica Beach, even one with a flag attached. But it was followed by another. and then another. And then a whole parade of golf carts. Yep, it was a Trump/Back the Blue golf cart
parade winding through the community.
That’s two parades in two days.
Wonder what wonders we will see today …
Matthew
6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well.”
Father,
thank you that Ed is still getting around pretty well. Please continue to be with him and his
daughter as they adjust to living in the same place again. Thank you that she is available and willing
to care for him. Amen.
