Worship and more fun

Saturday Armand and I went to play golf in McAllen with the group of Lutherans that play somewhere in the Valley each month.  We both played poorly, but I had one shining moment.  The game was best ball.  On the first drive of each hole the entire group tees off and then each plays from the spot of the best lie of the drives.  On hole 13, a par 3, I drove to the green.  The game allows one “throw” per person per round.  I threw from my spot on the green into the hole making a hole in one.  (The throw doesn’t count as a stroke!)  We all jumped and shouted with glee.  Evelyn had gone shopping with Sue but hadn’t bought anything.  I practiced my message after coming home.

We had a nice number at our worship and a better number at Llano Grande: 199.  I read a devotional at each service concerning the chil massacre and cried during both.  It is difficult to trust God during times like this.  We came home for lunch and then met John and Sue at the Tower theater for a play “Once Upon a Wolf” acted by children of various ages.  It featured stories in which the wolf was the bad guy and was killed, but the wolf wanted to change his ways and become good.  It was a cute play.  We then went to their house for bratwurst supper and dominoes.  They are obsessed with dominoes.
