Sunday and beyond

Sunday morning we were excited to attend a small church Roger found online. They had Sunday School as well as the service. When we arrived, we were welcomed - and told the pastor was on vacation. However, the Sunday School teacher was great. He's teaching through Ezekiel and as a "show and tell" brought along a sample of Ezekiel bread that God told Ezekiel to eat (Ezekiel 4:9). That bread is available at Walmart and is called Ezekiel 4:9 bread!! I'll be looking for it (frozen section). 

The substitute pastor was also very inspiring. He spoke on Hebrews - starting with chapter 2:1-4 and going back over why chapter 2 starts with "therefore" by reviewing chapter 1. All the OT references to Jesus. The question was "Who is Jesus to you?" One thing I learned was that Psalm 110:1 is the most oft quoted OT verse!

Scrabble is part of our Sunday events. The R.V. was so hot, we stopped at a rest area, took the game to a shaded part, and played outside. While there, the Blue Angels flew overhead and we enjoyed their show as a benefit.

Sunday evening we couldn't get to a church service, so we settled in a McDonald's and listened to the Zoom Good News Club being taught by past Christian Youth in Action grads. It was fun to listen in!

The heat over the past week + has been almost too much. Even McDonald's was not able to keep the place cool. It's often 100 degrees. However, nights cool very well and we've been able to sleep.

Monday morning we headed south to my (Heather's) ancestors' home grounds - NW MO. My g'g'grandparents are buried here. My g'grandparents were married here and then migrated to Canada. The g'g'grandparents were godly people. The g'grandparents left because they didn't want to be godly. In the line going back to the g'g'g'grandparents and further, they are the only break in Christianity on my mom's side that we know of going back to the 1600's.

Now we are parked at a friend's house in the country. He has about 20 goats and a dog to keep him company. The raccoons got his chickens!
