Okay, I am rubbing it in a little for those of you who live in the north. It got down to 37 last night and only into the mid 50's today. The day was sunny and it felt nice out with only jeans, a long sleeve shirt and light jacket. Tonight it is supposed to get closer to freezing. Wednesday night it is supposed to get down into the low 20's. YIKES!!!
Sunday we went to the 9 AM service at Liberty Church again. I don't enjoy the LOUD contemporary music but I do enjoy the Spirit in the place and the preaching. They are starting a program of 21 days of fasting and praying. As part of Pastor JP's message he explained that "fasting" was not limited to abstaining from food. The key was to give up something that you valued and every time you yearned for whatever you gave up you spend that time with God. Some people might choose to give up food, or a type of food (snacks), while others might choose to give up a TV program, time on Facebook, etc. It was a good message. He did run really long. He message lasted almost an hour. We sat in a different place and I noticed a count down timer in that back that showed him when he was supposed to finish. He ran almost 20 minutes over. His message was good enough that it was not a problem listening to him for that long, but I'm sure it made it tough for the staff to get us out and the 10:45 service in.
We chose the Chinese buffet for lunch rather than going to Ryans for a 3rd Sunday. It is good, the service is good and it is so cheap; $13 for both of us for Sunday lunch.
Today I did more caning. One more strand of cane and then I will be ready for the binding, the final step. I found out they sold 38 chairs at last years auction, but the guy I talked to didn't know how much money they raised.
I felt a little puny at lunchtime so I stayed home while Kathy went "junking". She had planned on doing it tomorrow but since it was not something I not interested in she went today. After lunch, and a short nap, I felt better and did get out to clean and lube the roof and seals on one of our slides.
After supper Kathy went over to the clubhouse for a seminar on sewing machine maintenance. She said she learned that she had a Neanderthal sewing machine, because it is so old.
Tomorrow, even though it is only supposed to be in the 50's we plan on heading to the beach. We haven't been there yet and it is supposed to be Sunday.
May God bless you and yours.
