Ahhhh! Sunday

I hope that this post finds you all rested from a great day and refilled from being in church. This morning I attended New Spirit Community Church here on the PSR campus. It was an interesting day in that the world famous writer, Malcolm Boyd and his partner Mark Thompson, participated in a interview style sermon time. Boyd's book, "Are you Running With Me Jesus," from 1965 is a wonderful book of thought, poems and other styles of writing having to do with social justice. He was a follower of MLK Jr. His passion for life and his desire to see racism cease in all of its forms is inspiring to say the least.
The service itself seemed a bit disjointed at times, but I did find it a little humorous that we sang not only, "If I Had a Hammer," but also..."Blowin in the Wind." The perfect songs for a Berkeley congregation.
The best part of the service for me was the singing of one of my all time favorite hymns....When in Our Music God is Glorified. I LOVE THE WORDS SO MUCH and the tune is incomparable.

The rest of the day was devoted to READING!!! Thank God I know how...kind of. I really missed being with my church family today, but am so at peace knowing the God is moving in big ways at CLC. My CLC family...."I love you." THank you for being such a huge part of this new life venture with your cards, comments and phone calls.

FYI...My mom was moved to ICU early this morning. She remains there through the night. Don't quite know what is up? Please pray for her and my daddy. I hate being the good son SO FAR AWAY.

Blessings to all!!! I promise, next week, I will get a little more profound in my writing....Just alot of issues clouding my brain this weekend.

  1. We missed you today, too. We had a good group today, numbers are up in the choir, so grateful for that, especially in the sopranos. We will keep your mother and father in our prayers. It was a good sermon, Finding Your Fit. Have a good week, keep hitting the books. We talk about you often, so know you have lots of people praying for you. Take Care, Babs
