Thursday… A HUGE CHURCH, WE B happy, having a good time

 Picture of the day

 

BUT for now:

This has been good to have a break from the everyday life back at our home base. Seeing dear friends and walking a little more.  We suspended most walking back in NC due to the presence of ‘big Dogs.’  

(pic from the web! but this is how many dogs look in my mind now))

Not just me, but Sherry is now bothered by big dogs even on the other side of a fence, since I was bit by a dog on a public street on a leash.  He was big enough to drag the owner and hit my chin, neck and rip my arm.  So far dogs here have not been threatening.

WE have had a great time.  Meeting our friends’ family has been such a pleasure. We were invited to attend church with the family before Marian’s BD party.

WE attended the ‘Calvary Church’ in Lancaster. Do you, or have you ever attended a BIG church, I mean a BIG CHURCH.  This was our first. When we got there the parking lot is as big as Walmart.

I hear a lot of negative about ‘Mega-Churches,' but lemme tell you, when you walk in and see HUNDREDS of teen agers, smiling and talking, you must be IMPRESSED! As soon as we entered we were lost in the mass, a nice young fellow left a crowd and asked could he help us (we must have looked LOST,LOL).  He lead us up three flights of stairs thru crowds and opened every door for us.  He smiled when he left saying something like ‘be blessed.’

I have no idea the # of folks attending. It seats close to 3000 and was mostly full. We were at the 3^rd service.

A choir, even an orchestra.  The pastor delivered a great message, no notes, just scripture. Good stuff. Most impressive to me was that I could not only HEAR the pastor, but I could UNDERSTAND him. Unless you have a hearing problem you do not know how REAL that statement is.  Upon leaving, traffic was heavy of course, but well directed.  There is nothing like sharing time with real friends, Great memories..
