It was quite a weekend with family and friends. The Cary Clan arrived on Thursday night and stayed until Saturday. The Hilson Trio arrived on Friday afternoon and left Sunday after worship. It was a good time with family. And it was nice to have a home to be able to accomodate them all. Thank you, God.
Sunday evening, we went to the Armour home for a shin-dig with some folks from Northwest. What a great time we had! It's fun hearing the stories as we get to know people.
Worship on Sunday morning was a little strange. There were several elements in the time that are not normally there.
I think the memorable moment of the day came when I pulled out a baggy of "skuballah" -- which is the word translated "rubbish" in the NIV translation of Philippians 3:8. More literally, it means "dung"...and Paul used the slang version of it! So I saved a bit of skuballah from my parents' dog and brought it out for show and tell. It was hillarious to see the reaction. Might have been over the top, but it got the point across that much of what we chase after as so important is actually...crap.
I'm in the midst of being tackled by some respiratory thing. Not feeling to inspired in my writing. Not sure if I'm just over-tired from running to hard these past few months, but if it's a virus thing...anyway...
That's the scoop from Lake Villa.
