Monday Morning Thoughts


I was about to head into PLBC today when I received a call from Isaac saying that mini geyser has been discovered in our parking lot.  Looks like we have a leak in our water line.  City workers are here trying to find the water shutoff.  This will be my excitement for the next couple days!

Yesterday was an interesting service... in hindsight, I would have structured things a little differently, but that's looking at things with 20/20.  It was nice to have Chad back leading us in worship.  The Vanson's rocked the breakfast.  Dave preached a challenging message on not being ashamed to speak Christ's name.  And we had some special guests from California... the Warkentin family.  We've been praying for Shaela Warkentin and her family for the past five months as she was involved in a horrific car accident and lost her sight.  Yesterday, Shaela and her three sisters sang a beautiful song.

Following the service a number of families went out to Hayward Lake and enjoyed perfect weather for a picnic at the beach.   It was sunny with a warm breeze.  We built sandcastles, went swimming, relaxed on blankets and chairs, and enjoyed good food.  I enjoyed getting to know a couple people better by hearing some of their life's story.

This week is our second annual Chili Cook-off.  I am really looking forward to this year's event... it's going to be even better than last year!
