0413 sunny and hot

It was a hot day! My father dropped me off at SBCC and I stumbled my way up the ramp to the welcome coolness of the lobby and the sanctuary. I found a seat by the column on the right side and settled in for the second service.

Jim Y and Cary put on a short drama to promote the Servants Heart ministry. It was very entertaining, but put out the right message for recruitment. Liz was the emcee and talked about some of the upcoming activities at SBCC.

Pastor Gary continued his series “Hostage” with a sermon about acknowledging who we are and being aware of it. It’s an important step in breaking free of the hold that our sins have on us. We must realize the existence of the sin and that we belong to God. Romans 14:8 reads “If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”

After the service (and three attempts), I pushed my fat butt out of the chair and made my way out to the lobby. On the way, I stopped briefly at the tech booth to talk with Ed and Nathan.

I made my way to the Dugout, where I met the rest of Koinonia. Jen & Eric were absent due to a talk that Jen was giving at her former church. Sam was not feeling well, so he called in to say that he would not be attending. That left just five of us (myself, Sheri, Liz, Wendi and Stephanie). We skipped the lesson eighteen review and just talked about what was going on in our lives.

Time flew by. Before we knew it, it was 3pm. We walked outside but my father was running a little late, so we found a shady spot and just chatted. Wendi (my favorite OT) gave me a “use it or lose it” pep talk.

My father picked me up and I was home by 4pm.
