It's Church Time (Happy Father's Day)

I started my day off on a great note by going to church. One of my coworkers told me about an English/Spanish church he attends that is actually right down the hill from our house (walking distance). So he picked us up this morning for service and we had a very nice time. The nondenominational church actually reminded me of the Lutheran church I attended while interning in Dayton (Summer 03 & 04) so I felt comfortable. The music ministry was done in both English and Spanish with the sermon being all English. The message was geared towards fatherhood as today is Father’s Day. The underlying lesson was threefold: we must listen to God, we must obey God and we must trust God. The scripture reference was the story of Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac because it was what God instructed him to do despite the hardship of the act. Afterwards we attended Sunday School where we learned about different passage in the book of Acts. We met many nice people at church who extended themselves to us in anyway we may need. My coworker was nice enough to take us to the grocery store to pick up a few items. Praise God I bought some ant spray for the kitchen so I pray that will deter some of those pestering rodents. Lol…yall know I don’t do bugs! I did some housework by sweeping the stairs. I was going to mop but the mop is kind of broken/dilapidated. Tonight we were invited to dinner at Yolanda’s boss’ house. It was oh so good! His wife is such a great cook, I’m going to get there one day...and seeing as how I don’t cook much now that one day is no time soon! Two appetizer choices were this blue cheese, honey and grape combination or this tomato, grape nuts, etc. combination…sounds good doesn't it! She made this homemade Sangria that was a nice touch as well. Dinner was a shrimp linguine that was seasoned just right. She outdid herself with a make-it-yourself ice cream bar with coffee, coconut, chocolate or vanilla choices and an array of toppings. Then I finished off the evening with a cappuccino. Too bad we don’t get food like that regularly. I also was able to borrow about 8 books from her to keep me occupied and lessen my boredom. The perfect end to a nice, relaxing weekend!
