Sunny Monday; (thank you very much Lord God). It is supposed to be a beautiful day all day. I love getting up in the morning and being showered with a day full of blessings.

Saturday was our annual car show at church and it was a perfect day to have one. The weather was perfect and we had a large crowd. There were ninety-two cars that showed up and they were beautiful. We gave away forty-four trophies and ninety-two door prizes. Besides that we had a "Chinese-auction" with probably 50 or so items for people to bid on. The food was great and we sold a lot of stuff. So, all-in-all we had a successful day and the three charities that we selected will get $1,000.00 each. I call that a good work-day for God.

Yesterday we had a fairly good day at church. There were forty -five in Sunday school, (which is a great number) and then we had sixty nine in worship, which is also a great number but has been better in the past few weeks. Next week we are having our annual Homecoming Sunday and have invited one of our former pastors to come and give the sermon for the service. I'm concerned that we will have a lot of people out because it is also a "vacation" period for the local school system and I know we have parishioner families that are planning to be in Disney World. I really hope that we have a good attendance. It would be embarrassing to invite a guest speaker and no-one show up. But, the Bell Choir is going to play, and the Choir is going to sing "Majesty", which is a song that I love to both hear and sing. And it is also a Sunday where we are bringing in a new member and we are doing Holy Communion. So, there is every reason to come to church on Sunday and no reason that I can think of not to.

I filled up my sunflower seed feeders yesterday so I imagine that the squirrels will be happy with me if they have indeed found them full. The cardinals certainly found them quickly last evening. I need to put some suet paste in the other feeders so the woodpeckers will be happy. I noticed this morning that those particular feeders appeared to be empty and there were downy woodpeckers checking them out. I need to get some "no-melt" suet cakes too. All of my suet cake feeders are empty. It's hard to keep up with all of it.

I'm at work in the church office so I probably need to quit doing my personal stuff and do something "churchy" don't you think? I'm filling in for the Bible study for Pastor Art this week and we are starting with 2nd Peter 2:1. I need to read that and digest it and plan what I can say about it.

As OI look out the window of the Pastor's study, the sun is still shining and the leaves are starting to turn a little bit. It is a beautiful setting. It is a great day to bask in the glory of God Almighty. Have a blessed day.
