Sunday is Here

What a glorious day!  It's cool, it's clear, it's a beautiful Sunday.

We attended Woodland Hills Baptist Church for the last time this year.  We are so glad we found this church while we were here in Oklahoma for the summer.  Bro. Bruce's sermon was very good: Ephesians 4:11-16 - "What is a Growing Christian?" 

A growing Christian is full of joy.  If joy is not present in their life, growth is at a standstill.

A growing Christian is a tithing Christian.  If a Christian isn't giving, they are not growing.

A growing Christian has a faith that will not crumble in crisis.  If they do, growth was at a standstill.

A growing Christian is in God's Word, daily. ("Give us this day our daily bread.")

A growing Christian is involved in fellowship with a focus on helping others on all levels.

A growing Christian is discovering and exercising their spiritual gifts.

Christian growth indicates an independence from the church staff.

Christian growth indicates regular church attendance.

Christian growth indicates Bible study and prayer.

Christian growth indicates a focus on Jesus Christ and His plan for their life.

From these points, this question came to me:  What is earth?  Earth is the place God has provided us to prepare for eternity.  When we leave this earth, and we will, we will enter eternity.  Have we taken advantage of the place God has provided for us to prepare for eternity?  Earth is the place God has provided us to practice for eternity. 

It was a very good time in worship with others today.

After church, Walt and Dianna invited us to eat with them at the Olive Garden.  As we waited outside and visited, I took this picture.  And this one of Walt.  He is so photogenic. They are good friends and we are going to miss them.  Dianna is ready to come visit us in AZ and so is Walt, if he can come on his Gold Wing.

We spent the afternoon with Mama Trudy, visiting and napping.  Why are naps always the best at mama's house?

Tonight, we went to a fellowship at friend's in Noble.  On the way out, we saw this classic.  Poor guy had a flat tire.  Also, as indicated by the license tag, he just bought it.  Wonder what he gave for it?

After a few hours of food, fellowship and Bible study with friends, we were invited to Rick and Jan's where we were introduced to Nutrazon.  (I will have a website soon.)  Here is a picture of Don after drinking two ounces of Nutrazon, being able to balance on one foot AND resist the pressure Rick is placing on his arm.  Don has not been able to balance on one foot in years.  We are expecting other positive results from Nutrazon as well.We will miss Rick and Jan, too.

It was a good Sunday and tomorrow the countdown to departure day begins.

We are so blessed.
