Many great meals, both physical and spiritual

We had a warm morning and a great worship. 56 people attended and were blessed with Holy Communion. I was hot while preaching but the women in the congregation were cold. Go figure. The man from our park who is recovering from open heart surgery and his wife joined us for worship. We neglected to invite them to join us for lunch but learned later that they had other plans for noon anyway. We prepared for the 2 couples we expected for lunch and waited. Dan and Linda Servais came followed by Joe and Bonny. They didn't know each other but seemed to get along well. We enjoyed the King Ranch casserole Evelyn had made and the cheesecake was pretty good. She didn't think much of either creation but that is normal. She is pretty humble despite her talent. Dan and Linda stayed until 3:30, longer than I wanted. The division championship games were played today featuring 3 of my favorite quarterbacks. Unfortunately, only 2 of the 3 could win. Fortunately, the 2winners are my favorites. Payton Manning and Drew Brees will oppose each other in the Super Bowl in 2 weeks. Evelyn spent the entire second half talking with Emily who had a blessed worship with her family at a home church in Xenia. We are so extremely blessed in our extended families and thank God for this and many other undeserved blessings.
