Hip hip hooray for the chosen ‘most Christ-like’…

Its been a super day around the ranch.? Today was? friendship day at Christian Challenge and we had around twenty visitors. Nathan did a great teaching on? friendships. Of course Betty and I sat in on the service from home.
Then Shana came by with lunch. She had been to Philidelphia Baptist Church for an? awards ceremony for the basketball leagues.? It is such a joy to visit with our kids.? Just normal family chit chat is a blessing. Naturally we also get all the up-to-date stuff on each of the children.
It is very interesting to see CJ’s excitement when Shana comes for a visit. Next to Betty and me, Shana is his very special friend.? He’ll jump all around her? without touching her personally. ? When you realize just how big CJ is, to jump without touching is quite a feat.
Ok,? so now? let’s hear it for the most Christ-like player in the basketball league. You got it. My youngest grandson, Jared, was selected as the ‘most Christ-like’ player in the entire? league. What an honor. He received his trophy today.? I am so proud of my little buddie.
When Shana left, Betty and I took a stroll on the hill behind Christian Challenge to sit on our special bench for a bit of relaxing time.? The hill is my? meditating place. Really love being with my one and only blue eyed girl.?
What else — Christian Challenge begins its 37th School for Christian Workers this evening. The classes are looking good. Lane starts things off with the Disciple’s Heart Training Program. It took me several years to get that course where I wanted it. It is the kind of training program that no matter how many times you take it, it remains forever new. Of course the primary reason is its use of the Scriptures.
Nathan came by for a visit. This is our Sunday? afternoon norm. Sort of ‘catch-you-up-to-things’ visiting time. ?
5:15 p.m.? Edward Dorsey called to check up on me. Boy do I ever I miss not getting to pick on him in person. Edward has such a pleasant bearing and a? great sense of humor. Love all the Dorsey family. They bring such a dignity with them. That is something I terribly lack.
Reflecting back on the morning service, David Stellwagon filled in for Jeff as worship leader. We really missed Jeff, but David? also does a great job.? A good worship leader has to be a worshipper himself.? This is something that both Jeff and David do.
Then we had a special song by a friend who came with Nora. Don’t know her name. Believe her dad pastors a church in this area. Anyway, she sang ‘Alabaster Box.’? I had chills running up my spine. That girl? put her whole heart and soul into her song.
Well, its going to be a lazy evening. Awana is in full swing. Can’t want to see how Lane’s introduction class went.
Talk with you later.
Buddy
