We spent the weekend with Jim and Marilyn (friends from church who winter in Florida, for those who don't know them). We had a wonderful time! As many of you know, Jim and Marilyn are great people, always a joy to be around.
I enjoyed observing the display of nature visible from their back deck, including a nesting pair of Sandhill Cranes, a hawk sunning itself in a tree only yards away, and the only floating island I have ever seen. The latter remains difficult to describe, but yes, the island of flora actually floats as it blows from one side of the pond to the other.
We were privileged to attend the last few services of the week-long camp meeting at the park where Jim and Marilyn live. The services were in a traditional holiness camp meeting style as verses of "Victory in Jesus" dinned throughout the sanctuary. I particularly enjoyed the Sunday morning service as the preacher painted such a beautiful picture with words, describing the magnificence of heaven as he read from John 14:1-6.
In light of this passage: When I think of Gene, Merle, and Jeanne (the three mentioned in my previous posts below), they witnessed extreme poverty, oppression, corruption, spiritual bondage, and natural disaster in Haiti--the worst of what this world contains. Now, they enjoy the best of what God offers for all of eternity!
