Picnic on the 5th

Postby Pastor Gary » July 1st, 2008, 5:28 pm

Because of fireworks displays, etc. the local beach parks will be overcrowded on the 4th, so we will have a church picnic on Saturday, the 5th and hope for a little less crowded area.

I'll be breaking out the 50 SPF and my floppy-brimmed hat. Last beach day I got roasted and toasted real bad. :shock:

Personal fireworks are also illegal in GA....so we'll be swimming, grilling, and then watching a local city show.

I'll be working part of the day. I'm a Modern Woodmen Financial Rep and we are going to have a booth at the local 4th of July Festival in Lafayette.

I was gearing up for a long overdue trip home to see my family and friends. But the A/C in my car went out and the bill is the same amount the gasoline would have been. :( :(

Mixed bathing? I always did say you were a sinner.

I think we are helping my brother in law move, into his very nice new house.

And let my kids swim in a pool that someone gave us.

yea, but I never saw any COGOP recommendations or advice saying not to mix-swim. mixed bathing is another issue altogether, right? the boys and girls don't take baths together at camp, right? :) :lol: :lol:

That's called "rightly dividing the Word" right there!

That's good discernment right there. Maybe this was one of those rules they changed recently. Hard to keep track of what was wrong, what was wrong but now isn't wrong and what was wrong and is still wrong.

I am not even going to mention how dangerous it is using the KitchenAid in a swimmin' pool, while folks are swimmin'! so I am glad mixed-swimming is probably not a good thing too. :)

fireworks are great. I just wish we could legally do them around here.

Well, I never missed going to camp as a youngster, but if we had been doing that, I SURE wouldn't have missed.

We will have over about 35 for cookout and fireworks. You can see the city display perfect from our backyard.. all timed to the music over a local radio station.

Try to catch up on some needed sleep from our mission trip. and unfortunately we will be spending time adding up our loss for the insurance company. Seems that while we were in the Philippines our home and office was looted. So far about $12,000 missing. we are finding things daily that are gone.

Not to worry, I know that it will all come back in one way or the other. God is always so good, and His mercy's is unto everlasting.

Also I will try to get in at least one day of the West Coast Believers Conference in Long Beach. This Sunday Phil Driscol will be at our church sharing his part of the story. He just completed recording two new cd's which our pastor arranged and produced. Should be a good weekend
