Hot Air
7/30/06 - 1st Day - Evening. I usually don't post this late, but we just got home. It was HOT today. Well, as hot as most days during this drought and heat wave. I believe it got well over 100 today. We had a great fellowship and we got our first sermon recorded in some time:
Blessed in the City?
I hope you get something out of it. It is part of our sort of "impromptu" sermon series on the Lord's Day. I usually don't get time to pick the scripture verses or study long for the sermon. Maybe 20-30 minutes.
We had brisket, fresh green beans, rice cassarole, cornbread, and some type of desert I didn't get any of. Some friends drove down from Lubbock and joined us for the sermon, and we had some fellowship for awhile. When the temps hit their peak, we decided to head out to the lake for a swim. Sometimes it is the only way to cool down properly. If we had anywhere near normal rain we could swim in our own ponds or in nearby creeks, but the drought has put an end to that. Well, we arrived at the park and found out we had a flat on the van. Same tire has been fixed 5 times in the past month. A week or so ago our mini-spare blew up, so we have no spare. We were blessed in that we had a small compressor and the tire held air enough to get us back home, but we had to stop every 10 minutes or so on the way home and hook up the compressor. But we made it home, and we are all pretty tired from our swim.
Tomorrow is back to regular work day. Back in the root cellar. Back to work on Galatians for me too... Hope to finish part 5 tomorrow, and I might preach it tomorrow night if the Lord wills. If I do, we will have it posted as soon as possible.
We need a well... and a break in the heat... and some rain, but in all these we have learned to rejoice because God is good and merciful to us, and we pray his grace continues with us, for without it we would perish.
