It's been a busy few days. Last night my family was getting together for a cook-out and we were blessed to have my uncle and aunt pay us a surprise visit. The night was somewhat bittersweet. It's great to be around family. However, my brother and his family are moving to TX in 17 days and it was hard to remember that.
We went to the nearby park for a church sponsored Fourth of July celebration! I went two nights. It was awesome. The first night I was there, they estimated that there were 700+ people there. Last night there was an estimated 1200+ there. A lot of people there who went for a free fireworks show and wound hearing the Gospel as well. I was very happy that the pastor made it very clear that there is a God and he was not afraid to talk about Jesus Christ. A lot of non-churched people and those who've never heard the Gospel were reached.
PLEDGE COMMENTARY BY RED SKELTON was on the cover of the program. The link is about 4-5 minutes long, but well worth it!

Yesterday I went to a new church. It's a Salvation Army church. I actually intended to go to the church that my dad grew up in and took us to occasionally. It's a Lutheran church. However, I made a turn into the wrong driveway, so I wound up in the parking lot for the Salvation Army church.
My nieces will be going to VBS for the very first time in their lives today. They are afraid that it's going to be boring because it's church. I don't know why they feel that way. They've had lots of fun at the church events that I've taken them to so far. Unfortunately, they have not been raised in church and the few times they did go before I moved here, it was more traditional churches and they didn't go to any of the events that were aimed at kids. Hopefully they'll learn about Jesus and have fun!

DD Going to Visit Her Dad and Friends. - 7/9/2008 11:10:23 AM

My dd is 15 and going to visit her dad and friends in Chicago and Indianapolis tonight. Her dad works for an airline, so she has to fly standby. I hope that she is able to get all of her flights and not get "bumped." If her flying goes as planned, she should depart San Francisco about 6:15 pm and arrive in Chicago about 12:30 am. However, if she gets "bumped" she won't leave San Francisco until either 9 pm or midnight. That makes for a long time for her, myself and my two younger nieces to be at the airport.
Part of the time she will be staying with her former youth pastor and his wife. They are mid-20s. They've never been parents before. I hope that she will use good judgement and not use this as a time to see how far she can push the rules.
Overall she's a great young woman. However, I probably won't feel at peace until she's back in California!

Today is the 17th anniversary of the day that I had an abortion. If I had known then what I know now, I'd have a 16 year old child. My children would have another sibling. My parents would have another grandchild. If you know of anyone who has had or is considering abortion, please don't be afraid to reach out to them in love. Your prayers and encouragement may be just what they need ...... and you may save a life.

They were talking about all the friends they want to invite, the games they played, lessons they learned and - of course - the snacks!
