I LOVE SUNDAYS
Okay, the header is not absolutely all-inclusive. There are those days when my preaching is average, the music is average and some small-minded child of God wants to be sure to unload their most recent pet peeve on me before they leave the premises.
Today has not been one of those days. The sun is shining - it's around 80 - and let's face it, that makes a good backdrop to any day. Service went really well today. I'm loving this SHINE series with our focus on missions and the video of our work in South Africa was a great focus on a life-changing project we are privileged to be a part of.
Nancy excelled leading the worship. She called it right lingering with the last song - we could have stayed there all morning! And I'll say it myself for the sake of those who emailed me about being hard on myself last Sunday, the preacher even hit the mark. No, I didn't manage to speak shorter!
Using the idea of inhaling and exhaling to illustrate the fact that we all take in from different sources and give out to others, was not original. I inhaled it from Erwin McManus' great book Chasing Daylight.
After service I talked missions trips with a bunch of people and left happy that there is so much buzz around the place - even on a day when the crowd was painfully thin because of the holiday weekend.
From the theater to the diner - outstanding lunch. Three courses including drinks for $7.95. Portions were so big we shared one and took the other to go!
Now I'm sitting watching the start of the Mets game and will shortly leave for the gym to watch the rest of it while strolling on a treadmill. Is this a great country or what?
Did tell you, I love Sundays?
