It was quite a day.  It began when the alarm went off at 6 a.m. for us to have time for “morning rituals” and breakfast before having a prayer time and sound check at 8 a.m. at the church.  I did kids Sunday School.  It was a lot of fun.  The kids were great and very responsive.  For the worship service I began things with a trumpet piece then right after the welcome I used one of my “friends”.  It was for a kids time but had a sneaky adult message meaning it sneaks up on the adults as they listen in amusement at the “kids” message.

We had a couple of hours back at the hotel this afternoon by the time we got through with lunch then headed back to the church for yet another sound check at 4:30 and all the prep work to get things in line for the concert.  The pastor was a little bit concerned being this Sunday was the close of spring break and the average age for this church is 35.  How bout that?  Lots of little ones and growing.  Anyway, there ended up being a great crowd and the evening was great.  Even had an altar full at the invitation.  A great night.

Tomorrow we’ll head out and looking forward to a nice week at home. Thank you for your prayer support.  It is much needed and greatly appreciated.
