Man, what a weekend! So many good things going on around here!
Friday’s football game was a blow out. We lost 26-0. It was fun to play in the torrential downpour, but we coaches have to find a way to get our guys to do the basic things necessary for football success.
Saturday found me at Camp Kanasatake for the city-wide men’s retreat. Lots of guys from many different churches, hanging out, playing ladderball and carpetball, a football game in the rain, the sweet sound of men’s voices raised in song, and some good words from the Lord via Nate Larkin. We might have witnessed the birth of a Samson Society in the Centre Region.
Sunday was another packed out 11:00, and Vic King brought a dynamite word from the Lord. Check out his talk about the Lower Story and the Upper Story here. I am excited about this sermon series.
Kim planned an all-girls get-to-know-you event for our senior high ladies for tonight. They met at our house, and travelled from house to house to house in our neighborhood. It was a good night. The topper is that there were 10–yes, I said 10!–new leaders tonight. God is opening up the windows of heaven and pouring out his blessing. Some of the senior high guys met at Ryan’s house to catch the first half of the Steelers game.
I am sitting on the couch half-watching the wrap up of the NFL action. Levi and I are in a couple of fantasy football leagues, and it’s fun to talk smack and strategy with him. He’s a sharp young man.
As I sit here, the wind is ripping through the trees. Gusts up to 60 miles an hour…I can hear limbs, maybe even whole trees cracking and crashing in the woods near our house. I hope we don’t blow away. If we’re still here tomorrow, I’ll post more.
