It was great being back in the pulpit yesterday morning. I love this church and attending things like the Caribbean Lectureships helps me realize it even more. It is the place I get my spiritual batteries recharged. Thanks for listening to Joel and I go on and on about our experiences. We could have shown pictures and told stories all night. Personally, it was great having him with me. You work with people everyday but it is a different experience attending something like this together. I feel the same way with all those who came with us on this trip.
One thing I wanted to mention is the 45th Annual Caribbean Lectureship next July 12th-15th in St. Thomas. It will be at the Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriot Resort. You can look it up on-line. Beautiful place. The rooms will be $205 a night. HOWEVER, you can room with one or two others and divide the cost. I realize it is still a lot of money, but if you start putting money away now in an envelope you might be surprised what you can do in a year. Just something to think about.
Our building is looking better and better all the time. There were some things that were needing a major facelift. Everyone seems to be excited about it. Of course, it is a big expenditure. Start thinking now how you can help to eliminate this cost in the near future.
Well, my oldest son, Lex, left this morning for Oklahoma Christian. Noah and Missy are on their way to Alabama for Noah's college orientation. In a manner of a couple of weeks our house will be down to 4. It is bitter sweet. You want to see your children grow and mature but you hate to see them go. We are just glad we had another summer we were all together.
It is going to be a busy week for the teens as they begin their work week. Joel and Molly have done a great job planning these service projects. Keep them in your prayers this week so that no one gets hurt. Even more for the glorification of God in all their works.
Have a great week!
