Beach Baptism 09

Two weeks ago, we had a beautiful Sunday morning Baptism on the beach. The forcast was for bad thunder storms and rain. We asked God to hold off the rain & angry clouds on the horizon while recognizing God's authority to do what He willed.

Wow! Did God ever exceed our puny expectations.

The rain held off for the service, the celebration picnic, & about an hour of play time after lunch.

God is so Good!

O Ye of Little Faith

I was aware ahead of time that we'd have at least 5 of our regular families out of town this past Sunday. I like to know ahead of time so I can be depressed in advance.
I even joked with the loyal Church early birds that they could have their choice of seats today as we'd be lucky to half fill the place.
I was in my office right up until start time. When I made it to the back of the church, I was shocked that the place was full...really full! I figured that the balcony was empty (ever the pessimist). In CWW fashion, four or five families arrived during the singing & headed to the balcony.
When I got up to preach, the place was packed to the gills! Beth later told me that we had right at 100 there (the place only holds 90 comfortably). Go figure, a preacher of little faith. I could hear Jesus saying, "Wherein did ye doubt, O ye of little faith?"
I respond, "I believe Lord, help thou mine unbelief"
