Sunday

We never cease to be amazed at the work of our God Almighty.

As I have mentioned, it's very hot and humid here.  Today, the humidity was at 96% with the sun shining.  Mug-geeee.

I honestly didn't think that anyone would show up for church here at Oak Grove as we worship out under the pavilion ... no air conditioning, only a few fans.  But Don had asked God for people to come and he faithfully expected people to come.  And God faithfully brought them.  Even though there's hardly anyone in the park, there was 14 people there not counting Don and I.  That's the largest group we've had here this summer. 

Singing was awesome and the sermon was very good, entitled "How Do You Wait on the Lord?"  (Luke 12:32-42)  Don's answer to that question was (1) patiently, (2) expectantly and (3) faithfully.  That's how we wait for the Lord's return.  Wish you all could have heard this message.

Then we go over to KOA where we meet in an air conditioned building and there was only seven people there counting Don and I and Mike, our worship leader. However, the sermon was just as good as though the whole building was full.

We count it all joy.

Late this afternoon, Jimmy knocked on our door and said, "Come on, let's get out of the house and go somewhere cool."  Ok, so I'm thinking, "It is cool in my house."  But we love get out with friends, so we grabbed our ice water and camera, put our sandals on and got in the truck with Jimmy, Lucy, Carol and Glen.  This was Jimmy's idea of a cooler place:Notice the fog?  Well, it was truly cooler here on this river, so we set our chairs up in a row and sat down to enjoy the tranquil view and watch the fishing boats go by.Glen took his fishing pole instead of his chair, but the fish weren't biting. The fog or steam off the water was really interesting to watch and you could feel the coolness as the fog drifted along. The fog would come and go when we first arrived.  Think I'm enjoying this? We all were.  The view, the cool air, the laughs. And this dropped right down in front of me and started building it's web. Really quite interesting to watch this busy spider.  I didn't bother it and it didn't bother me.The later it got, the thicker the fog became. Isn't this interesting?  A streak going through the fog.The fog is now so thick we can barely see the boats going past. We finally decide to leave.  It's like leaving a ride at Six Flags.... back and forth until we reach the top.  The fog has gotten up this far. By the time we got to the top, it was hot again. This is where we were.  Look at that fog!Hope you enjoyed our refreshing time on the river.  We sure did and we will go back to Cooper's Creek fishing dock.
