Friday afternoon I walked in the door and out pops my oldest son, Lex. Yes, the one who is in college at Oklahoma Christian. He surprised Missy for her birthday, as well as the rest of us. I won't bore you with all the details, but it was special for all of us. He flew back yesterday morning. Great way to begin my weekend.
Sunday was another special day. We continued our series on "Forgotten Virtues", with the touchy subject of sexual purity. Unfortunately, I had "forgotten" something else - time. Not to make an excuse, but when you deal with a sensitive subject like this you (I) tend to try to make sure I don't leave anything out so there are no misunderstandings. You want to show the sin and at the same time offer grace. I appreciate everyone's patience and kind remarks afterwards. As any lesson I deliver, any good that comes from it is to the glory of God. This Sunday we will take the forgotten virtue of loyalty.
Sunday night was exciting to watch. We had people all over the place working, writing cards, making visits, painting, etc. Joe Wild's class on parenting was packed once again. For the second week in a row a Sunday morning visitor came back for the Vero Beach Church 101 class, which has taken more in the form of a one on one discussion. Things are getting better and better all the time.
One sad note from the weekend, Paul Hoskins passed away Saturday afternoon. Even though this was an answer to prayer, as he had been struggling for a while, our love and sympathy is extended to Jean, Steve, the grandchildren, as well as everyone who knew and loved this man.
Continue to remember those who sit near you. Is someone missing? Give them a call, send them a card, or let the leaders know if you know someone needs special care.
