We had a great weekend, spending time at home, watching a lot of Lost on Blu-Ray, and putting together a new coffee table. Kristin found this idea on Pinterest, so I had a busy day Friday and Saturday.
Sunday, I got to preach at Hillcrest Baptist Church. I was looking forward to it because it was the church where I delivered my first ever sermon back in 2001. It was the church where I met my wife and where I began my ministry career. I was also looking forward to it because I had not preached in a traditional church in over five years. Turns out, I really enjoyed it! I love speaking, and I love when it connects with people, and several people came to tell me just how much it did. I used to struggle with compliments about preaching, but I realized that if someone got something out of what was said and they want to tell you how much it meant- just say thank you. God knows who really is getting the glory, and so do I.
We kept waiting around for the rain today, and it didn't come. So, I got almost done with some Gate publicity stuff. Finally, we decided to head out to the pool- then we noticed the large black cloud. We thought we'd give it a shot, and see if we could get just a little in. We almost made it to pool when we noticed everyone leaving the pool- apparently the lightning warning went off. So we rushed home to beat the rain, and I rushed out to the grocery store to beat it. We almost got rain- but the storm curved around us and we got tiny sprinkles.
Right now, it's raining more, so we're thankful, and hopeful for more tonight and tomorrow.
