It was 88* in my house yesterday, so I finally turned on the A/C. It’s cooler today so I have the A/C off and the windows open. Today was a comfortable temperature all day, and a nice day to be outside. I’ll tackle that first. Hempfield Church had a ‘block party’ – set up tents, a bouncy house, games for the kids, corn hole boards, lots of food. It was nice just sitting around talking to everyone on a casual basis. Invitations were sent out to all the houses in the neighborhood on the hill (our church is at the top). Everyone appeared to have a great time. Here are some photos:
It was a very nice day and I can safely say everyone had a good time!
Todd’s message this morning was about setting our minds on things above – Know Christ! There is no reason to get bored because there is always something new to learn. We are small; God is big! Our routine should be to study scripture, pray, and take time to rest. Don’t get busy. The dangers of this world aren’t always evil; they are the neutral things that steal your focus and attention. Find things that focus you toward worship and study, like pictures, music, quotes. For me it’s mostly music – like this morning, our worship songs. Here are three lines from three different songs. 1) You called my name and I ran out of that grave! 2) The Lord of creation knows me by name. 3) His love is sure, and He knows my name. The God of a 1000 hills knows my name and who I am. I’m important to Him!
Last week was National Black Bear Day – Skunk Hollow Cousin Beth was in the Smokey Mountains and sent me these pictures. They saw eight black bear in Cades Cove!
Scripture:
Quote:
TOMORROW June 5th is:
National Gingerbread Day; National Moonshine Day (Hope they mean the moon in the SKY!!!); National Veggie Burger Day; World Environment Day; National Start Over Day.
Not sure what I would want to start over. It sounds pretty daunting to me. I’ll celebrate gingerbread and be done! Have a great week! God bless…
