Reflections From Sunday Evening (after a break)

It was great to be back at PWUMC today.  Everything about the day felt great and I know many sensed the presence of the Lord among us today.
In the past month I have spent lots of time with family and friends.  We have been to church in St. Louis, Platte Woods, and Kimberling City.  All great! (Still good to be back in the swing of things.)
It was a blast spending time with great friends. (Thanks Clif and Dee)  We worshiped, ate, went to the "Happy Together" tour, watched Elvis' '68 Comeback Special. (seriously) Went through the Negro League Baseball Museum and Jazz Museum.  All great.
We then returned the favor and went to the Branson area and kept the friendship theme going.  Clif took me to the Crane Broiler Festival.  Just a hint...I ate a chicken! 
We had an opportunity to catch up with friends and totally enjoyed the conversations.  A blessed time off.
But even better to be back as we gear up for a season of ministry this fall.  We feel renewed enthusiasm throughout the church.  Discipleship opportunities abound.  Children's ministry is full of enthusiasm.  Mission and service is ready to roll.  So here we go.
It's been a great day.  I hope you've had a great day too.
