Impressions
Impressions from the weekend:
Friday – We lost to Winter Park 10 to 3. Steven didn’t start but was inserted into right field when we pulled our starting pitcher in the 1st inning and replaced him with the starting right fielder.
Steven made a spectacular catch at the warning track. All of us including the 2 base runners thought he had been burned. Steven took off in a full sprint with his back to home. He caught the ball over his left shoulder like a wide receiver at the warning track. The runner who took off from second was nearly doubled up by Steven’s throw from the outfield. Steven was told by the coaches to start bringing his infielder and outfielder gloves to the next game so he can play 3rd or right.
Funny how prayer works. My prayer was for Steven to make a good impression in the game. It wasn’t the impression he was necessarily hoping for but nevertheless, it was an impression.
Saturday – Our first Bible Camp Meeting. We went with my wife’s idea of using the T.V. show “Lost” for the theme of our week. The next meeting will be for hammering out the daily themes based on “Lost.”
Sunday Morning – Our worship was engaging. Paul (one of our worship leaders) is doing a good job with engaging the church with a nice variety of traditional songs and “Zoe” songs.
Sidebar – As Jeff and I were talking to Joe Beam in the moments before the Friday night session, he asked us if we were using a “praise team” during worship. We answered “no” and he said that meant that we were only 2/3 liberal. When we asked him to elaborate he said, “The 3 markers of a liberal church are a “clear pulpit, video projector, (we have the first 2) and the use of a praise team.” Thus, in his tongue and cheek opinion we were 2/3 liberal.
For Brady – I asked about having the communion table in the back to which Joe replied that could make us ¾ liberal if we consider it as a marker.
Spent most of the rest of Sunday debating and deciding if a 19 year old boyfriend of one of our teens could go on the upcoming trip to Winterfest in Gatlinburg, TN. The details will be in my next blog.
Pray for me tonight. Due to my “announcing partner” having a medical procedure tomorrow, I will be announcing a double-header (4:30 and 7pm) at the ball field tonight. The temperatures are supposed to dip down into the 20’s!
Have a good day my fellow blones.

College still has the ol' wooden pulpit. But only because we can't afford acrylic yet.
And what does the complete lack of a communion table make us? Nevermind. I'm afraid to know the answer.
