Worship at Cornerstone, A Visit from Burt and Bertie, Our Small Group and a Game of Chickenfoot



Wow what a beautiful morning with the temps in the low 60's once again. Nancy and I did not want to get up this morning as the cool, quiet morning air enveloped us. But the stillness of the morning made our quiet time more special and rewarding. We had a lot to be thankful for this past week, especially after having Nancy spend a night in the hospital with at first not knowing what was really wrong with her. Thank You doctor's Kahn and Wiggans at Allegheny Memorial for doing a thorough check on Nancy.


Our check for deer damage once again showed none.


Worship at Cornerstone was absolutely great and the meaningful relationships we are making is wonderful. It sure is nice to worship with believers who love their community and are on fire for the LORD. Congratulations to Pastor B(Brian)as he just graduated this past week with a doctorate in divinity.Most church's have 10% of the people doing 90% of the work but I must state with Cornerstone it's the other way around. I have never seen so many people turn out to help with the ministries of the church and be so excited about it.


We were just taking it easy after a fresh garden salad for lunch when one of our neighbors from on top of the mountain came by for a visit( Burt and Bertie) on their golf cart. They had never been down to our place and were taken back with the veggie and flower gardens. The cone flowers are magnificent in bloom and are so large and healthy as well as the summer daisies. We fixed them up with a nice zucchini to make bread. We had to cut our visit short as Nancy needed to make a fresh bowl of salsa to take to our small group at 5 PM.


Nancy and I are involved with our small group from Cornertone. Tonight our attendance was down as only 8 people were there for this get together. Its unusual to have 3 out of the 4 guys to be involved in law enforcement, 2 of us are retired. We met at Clara and Clarence Crouse residence in Sparta for a light dinner(everyone brought something) and to observe an Andy Griffith T.V. Series(Mayberry) for study and the biblical principles found in it. We had great food, a study and fellowship. I sometimes wonder what happen to those Mayberry Days, I would love for my grand children to know that America. It seems each episode had a morale value for all. Afterwards, the Crouse's neighbors John and Sandy came over for a game of Chickenfoot Domino's. It was a boys vs the girls in scoring with the boys victorious for the first time in a long time. Clara served us nearly frozen Dr. Pepper in the bottle(what a taste) with popcorn as a snack. Once again a fun evening with down to earth folks. Later missing our families and especially grand daughters Ava and Annsley.
