Happy Sunday!
Last week being the busiest week at the Jordan Pond House
and all, I fully expected worship attendance to be the highest of the season.
Not quite. I guess I have no authority or ability to successfully predict the
gathering of Christ’s followers. I suppose that’s not even something I really
need to know anyway.
Despite not having both amphitheaters filled in the morning and
the entire Blue Hill Overlook brimming with the faithful during sunset, the
team and I still had a great day of worship. At the Seawall service we had a
great crowd consisting of a New Jersey family and a lady from England. The
family had five kids ranging from age 3ish to 12 or so. They all had angelic
voices which made up for my relative tone deafness. And to top it all off, the
weather was gorgeous.
The team and I had our customary oatmeal and popovers at The
Common Good for brunch and then went to Ship Harbor to hike the nature trail
and throw rocks into the water. Chucking rocks into the ocean is quickly
becoming a team pastime.
This afternoon we watched the movie God’s Not Dead. Being a Christian movie I’ll admit it was a little
cheesy and overly dramatic. That being said, I highly suggest it. The movie isn’t
supposed to be for simple entertainment. Rather, it reflects the real and
legitimate arguments and conditions in life which cause people to believe that
God doesn’t exist or care about them. Both of those beliefs are wrong, and the
movie does a good job addressing them through using relatively relatable
characters. Another cool part about the movie was that it came into Ally’s
possession as a gift from her boss, the retail manager for Dawnland.
God’s not dead.
Even though I did this verbally on the phone, I wanted to
remind Dad that today is his birthday. Happy Birthday!
