A Bright Start

This cloudy morning started out brightly for me. We had a wonderful "Armed Services" service with the message delivered by Oliver Washington, a chaplain in the US Army who admonished us to be "armed and dangerous" with the full armor of God. It was a terrific message! The children's choir did a wonderful job of singing "God Bless America" with a second verse that I added "God Bless America, those whom You love. Grant them faith in our Savior. Fill their hearts with Your love from above. In the name of the Father, and the Son and Spirit, too, God bless America to trust in You! God bless America to trust in You!" The congregation then sang the first verse with us again. The adult choir also sang a beautiful anthem "I Worship You, Almighty God". Then I got to read Andy and Joyce's blogs! What a great way to start the week! Blessed "Son"day!
