Worship in the theater

We didn't hear the alarm and slept until 8:30. It was really no problem because I had thought we might return to Branson for a gospel sing at the Grand Theater. It started at 10:00, and we made it right on time. The place was nowhere near full, but neither were any of the other shows we had attended. It was a very Spiritual service and had a pretty good message. I was somewhat surprised to learn that it was an actual church that presented it. The music was show quality. The highlight was the singing of "It is Well with my Soul". The reason is that we actually sang the third verse: "My sin. O, the joy of this glorious thought; my sin, not in part but the whole, was nailed to the cross and I bear it no more! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O, my soul." The astounding thing is that most people skip the third verse in any hymn, if they are going to skip one. This verse, however, is the Gospel verse, the one that should never be skipped. Just like verse 3 of "How Great Thou Art". We came home and finished our breakfast tacos from the Valley and the shrimp etouffee from last night. We needed to finish the spoilable food in the refrigerator because we will eat in the dining room until Wednesday. We were still somewhat tired, especially Evelyn who thinks she might be getting sick. We napped a bit and got up to go to work. We learned that there were more than enough this evening but a shortage for the rest of the week. We did our usual jobs and enjoyed rosemary chicken, potato chunks, mixed vegetables, Greek salad and chocolate cake. We were finished working by 8:00, but are scheduled to work breakfast and lunch, so we must be back here at 7:00 in the morning.
