Yesterday’s experience as an official translator was unlike any other language experience I’ve ever had. I had to sign an affidavit of competence and was sworn in — the whole raise your right hand and solemnly swear. Wouldn’t it be funny if we had such practices right before the preacher begins speaking? OK, Greg, raise your right hand and repeat after me . . . .
Many of you will be traveling today. Our first wave of company has landed on the beach. I’m sure you are joining with me in praying for safety for all you travelers out there.
Our house will be full again tomorrow. A mixture of family and church friends. I’m in charge of pies this year and I’m probably just going to make apple and pumpkin. I’ve tried to make a pecan pie before without success. So, I’ll just stick to the basics.
Psalm 105:1-5 (NCV) Give thanks to the LORD and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done. Sing to him; sing praises to him. Tell about all his miracles. Be glad that you are his; let those who seek the LORD be happy. Depend on the LORD and his strength; always go to him for help. Remember the miracles he has done; remember his wonders and his decisions.
