We had Max and Gracie at Sunday School. It was Gracie’s birthday last week, and her dad took her shopping. She picked out a really cute shorts-dress and headband and she looked adorable. She was so excited, and carried herself like a little princess. She was smiling from ear to ear. She is the sweetest child!
Todd is still on vacation so we had a guest minister from the Norwin church preach this morning. His message was about Cleansing our Hearts — like Jesus cleansed the temple of the money changers. He wanted to rearrange the temple back to what it should be – like rearranging the furniture. He stressed that we should not just know ABOUT God, but KNOW God. The temple is now within our hearts; it’s not a building anymore.
I came home from church and changed clothes, then cut the grass and cut back some dead branches from the shrubs. I was meeting Deb at the movie theater so I changed and headed out there. When I got back, I weed-whacked and blew everything clean and bagged all the dead branches and flower stalks. Again, the yard looks nice — for another few days.
We went to see the movie THE SOUND OF FREEDOM, which is a true story. I was really nervous about going, because often those intense, dark movies upset me. This one totally didn’t. The concept was distressing and horrid and made you angry and tense, but the movie was mostly about the rescue efforts. It was still heartbreaking but enlightening. At the end the credits said that there is more slavery in the world today than when it was legal, and most of it is in the US. That is not only sad, but it’s wrong, and it breaks God’s heart. Worth seeing (you could handle it, Beth!).
And just a side note, unlike Spider-man, the theater was FULL!!!
Scripture:
Quote:
TOMORROW July 17th is:
National Peach Ice Cream Day; National Lottery Day; World Emoji Day; National Tattoo Day; National Wrong Way Corrigan Day; National Yellow Pig Day; National Get Out of the Dog House day.
Not a fan of peaches. I do have one tattoo but I feel that’s enough. I’ve been known to do things the wrong way. I’ll just see what tomorrow brings! God bless…
