Easter Weekend

Well, we had a marvelous Easter weekend. Bro Larry and family came down to stay with us and arrived at about 6PM thursday. From then till Monday night was a BLUR!!!

We did the ice skating thing on Thursday night which was fun.

Friday we got up, I sing lots in the morning, Bro Larry wanted to sleep…he needed to get up…I annoyed him with my singing. *grin.. He got over it. We got to VGR and got some tickets to the Songs of Praise. Boom! I loved that little brother from the congo!! The Zimbabweans were good too…and the Mariachi’s decked out in traditional garb. It was really cool. The Congo group started singing this song “hallelujah Hosanna”…and if I wasn’t holding Azariah, I would have went through the roof, or at least cleared the row I was sitting in. I was pumped! It was awesome… Such worship! Later we ate and let the boys play some golf. We didn’t get tickets in time for the 1:30 CTV tour presentation, so we went home for a rest. That evening we grilled some burgers and then hit the gym fellowship and I played some basketball. I’m not used to playing basketball. Can you say “ouch”?

Saturday we arose early enough in the morning again and got tickets for the CTV tour presentation, and until then just milled around seeing stuff and fellowshipping. I learned more about some of the technology underlying some things at VGR which was neat. I’m into that kind of thing. I had to drag the boys out of the CTV tour presentation halfway through. They were soo very tired and moody. Zion through the biggest fit he ever threw in his entire life! Saturday was just not my day with the boys. With AnnaMay being as pregnant as she is, I took responsibility to take both kids. Thankfully Larry, Tammy, and Judea helped out alot with the boys or I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. AnnaMay got tickets for the “Prophets footsteps” for Saturday morning, and I scored the rest of us tickets for Sunday afternoon. That evening I went to the 4H for some singing…it was an ok time.

Sunday was service, and all was well. I enjoyed how forcefully Bro Collins came out before bringing on the tape. I hope to see more of this passion on other topics as well! I believe we could benefit from this. I really liked the tent they set up…I think it made service so much more accomodating for everyone. Hopefully this or something like it, becomes the standard for Easter services. I stood in back behind the tent for most of the service….I was glad the rain passed quickly. At 4 we went to the “Prophets footsteps” presentation. I was really impressed with the supernatural surrounding Bro Branham’s life. It was a wonderful experience…and God really blessed me with some thoughts. I particularily enjoyed the baptism scene. That night we had some folks at our house and fellowshipped, ate pizza, and played half a game of cranium. Good times.

Monday I sent out a bunch of money to the US government…then took Bro Larry and fam around on the Jeff Tour.

I decided to take Tuesday off as well, as I hadn’t gotten some things done, and still felt like I hadn’t rested. So I got the lawn mower fixed, the lawn mowed, the cover off the pool and some much needed rest. George and Sharon came over for a bit and we had some nice relaxing fellowship. It was a nice day. Now I have 3 days of work before the weekend again. I think Saturday George and I are going to get the gardens tilled up at his place and mine.

I learned and grew soo much this weekend that it would take too much time to type all out. Praise the Lord for all his marvelous blessings to us.

Ah yes, please keep our Air Conditioner in prayer. Thanks!

What a STORM last night!! I tell ya, Thunder over Louisville in all it’s flashes and booms has nothing on God’s thunderstorms!
