Funerals, Surround Sound Basements, and other matters

Well, sorry for the blogging delay. Last week was a catch up week from being gone, and then we had an unexpected death in our church family. Funerals always present opportunities to minister to people, and to show Christian love and kindness. This held true last week as well, and I was glad to be able to help the family. The church really came through as well, as they always do. This church is so loving and servant hearted. Despite another busy week this week, I should be back on daily blogging status now.

Personal tidbit--we are about finished with our basement. They laid carpet on Friday, and I have the surround sound going. It turned out very nice. Should make for a great fellowship room. We had some neighbors and friend over on Saturday for Emily's birthday party. They watched a movie scene or two, and were excited about some movie and devo nights in the new room. Pretty cool.

Yesterday AM I spoke on the explosive growth found in the early church and in China, and last night I spoke on letting God be judge, rather than us. Both seemed well received, which is good, for they both had challenging elements on how we have thought and practiced.

No wisdom to offer right now--still a bit tired from the long week. But looking forward to this week. We have many visitors from the community signed up for VBS--thanks to all those who invited friends and passed out invite cards! Later.
