Sunday to Go!

This morning we woke to alarms.  First to my Man's set to "foghorn" and then to mine which rings like an old-fashioned telephone.  Our plans were to leave our Inn at 8:30 and drive to Parkside Church near Cleveland, OH so that we would be in plenty of time for the last worship service of the morning.  I'm happy to say that even though I saved all of the ironing until this morning and was having a questionable "hair day", we were on the road by 8:29.  Someone PLEASE put this in my permanent record!

We were in great shape with bookstore time to spare.  The church has a bookstore AND a coffee shop within its walls and we had cushioned our schedule accordingly.  All was going very well and according to plan until we hit some major...

Sunday...

morning...


...TRAFFIC!



Once the traffic cleared, we were able to make our way to church.


(This is the guy I get to sit beside of for the WHOLE service!!)

Before we hit the pew for worship, we took a little detour...



Coffee!!


After a thorough "going through" of each and every one of the bookstore shelves, we were ready to worship.


All these people, and not a familiar face. (This was the third service of the morning). 
 I'm getting a bit homesick for MY own church family!!
Dr. Begg's sermon was from Romans 8.

The sermon was a good one, but the pastor at my home church is MUCH cuter!

Here's what made it worth my trip to church...

After church we ate at one of my favorites...

they serve burritos as big as bricks! I'm still full...I ate the entire brick.

We may or may not have passed by and into a wonderful used bookstore on the way back to the Inn (we're are in need of a twelve step program I'm pretty sure), 
after which we simply enjoyed the drive...
with a different sort of traffic, 
and the scenery...

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Psalm 19:1

Although we had a very good sermon yesterday by our visiting speaker, we are missing our regular Pastor AND his family.;-) At the same time, we are glad you are having this together time. Thanks for sharing the pics.
