Not your typical Sunday, but I loved it. Most of it.
Our sleep was rudely interrupted very early this morning around 1:30 to what sounded like a gunshot really close to our bedroom window. I figured it was just a car backfiring on the road but a few minutes later we looked out the window and discovered several hundred rubber bands of various colors spread all over our driveway and an exploded plastic liter bottle that had been filled with some mysterious, but highly combustible contents that left a nice bleached spot on our drive. (That wasn't the part of the day I loved.)
So, this morning around 6:30 - before heading to church - I was fogging the lawn for mosquitoes, anticipating a post-service party at our house -- AND sweeping up a thousand rubber bands into a big pile and stuffing them into a bag.
All BEFORE early morning church.
Church was great, the apex of the day being the opportunity to pray with so many people down front for so many needs present. You knew things were happening.
After church, a not-so-quick stop at Famous Dave's to pick up rib tips, chicken and the fixins for a gathering of 30+ pastoral staff families at our home. What a terrific group of men and women we have serving together. Great to spend time with them in a relaxed setting like home.
Hope yours was great today.
And be blessed.

Was the rubber band thing someone playing a prank on you guys?
YES.
Creative, huh?
Hey we were TINSELED last year by a group of unnamed individuals from a certain youth group.
I'm STILL picking strands from my perennial beds.
Nothin' says love like a trashed yard.
