Tuesday
– Went back to Urban Vision to work on house. Nate stopped us by Crest Bakery to get a dozen donuts.
– Work at house was more demolition, scrubbing wooden floors, and yard work. Four students worked inside and four outside. We were all busy all day (left about 4:00).
– I bought the kids Dairy Queen ice cream because I wanted to.
– Went home and showered and paid bills that were close to being due.
– Went over to CVCA for supper – Mexican rice and chips.
– Practiced murder mystery for about thirty minutes (did not finish).
– Performed mystery – went well – lots of laughter, and it lasted about fifty minutes.
– Worship time.
– Craig spoke on Peter’s encounter with Jesus, walking on the water.
     – Jesus sends everyone ahead and spends day praying.
     – Peter initiates with a strange and surprising request.
     – Jesus works with Peter’s impulsive idea.
     – Jesus rebukes (teaches) Peter after Peter fails; now Peter learns and has a testimony (story) to tell.
– Grabbed dessert on way to small groups – excellent pumpkin cake, and I had a leftover piece of birthday cake (today was not a great day for restrained eating).
– Small group was excellent – funny small talk, then looking at Joshua exhorting the people to love God and then obey his commands and then cling to him. We need to love God first, then learn to cling to him as we fail (so we can love and then obey him more).
– Got home about 11:00.
