Saturday, was gorgeous weather. Just like Spring! However, I know to keep my leather gloves nearby because the polar air is coming in again this week and some snow showers are predicted. After all, it is just February.
I am still feeling a bit tired after my bout with the stomach virus and the busy week schedule. As well as teaching 5 piano lessons, I helped Mom unpack. I am so happy for her in the new apartment! We also went to get our nails done together.
Friday morning, we skyped with Keri and Kevin and the kids. They are in Nairobi, Kenya for a couple of weeks getting their visas renewed. Keri had visited Bill and me when we were teaching there. At the time, she was a journeyman in Istanbul, Turkey. She was having a great time showing her family the places we had been together. They had also visited the elephant orphanage. Sofia wanted to adopt one!
Friday night, the family went to Studio Wok to celebrate Sondra's birthday (Galen's wife). They do have good Chinese food! There were 13 of us. After dinner, we all went to the FireLake Bowling Center. I wasn't up to it, but Bill bowled very well! Galen's son, Jason paid for the occasion.
Saturday, we went to see, "The Monument Men" with George Clooney and Matt Damon. It was interesting and quite inspirational. On the way out, we saw Galen and Sondra coming in with Mark. I have always said that art and music set man apart from animals. My grandfather was not a monkey!
This morning, I taught my Bible Study Class. My class was split when they started a new class for young adults. So, there were 9 of us. We had a great time sharing. The topic was, "How Do I Know that God Exists". The Bible says that if you seek Him, you will find. God will never hide Himself from anyone! Chuck and Victoria recently had their grandson in Children's Hospital in Iowa. Four churches in the Shawnee area were praying when things looked hopeless. Within hours of the emails, the tiny baby turned a corner. It reminded me of our experience with Ezekiel!
Pastor Mike preached on Revelation 17 this morning. He is a student of end times, and we learned so much. Christians who know their Bibles can see the world shaping up for the anti-Christ to take over. It was pointed out that Satan loves religion and always has. It can be distorted so easily and has been used to kill those who don't agree with a prescribed doctrine. Being a true Christian is not a "religion". It is a relationship with a Christ who reached down to save us. We cannot force conversion. Loving and serving God must come from the individual heart and be voluntary or it is worth nothing. Tolerance for Christians is coming to an end, and the church is going to suffer far more persecution. Obama's administration has no use for the Bible and views Christians as people getting in his way. Freedom in America is coming to an end as we have known it. Many people have their heads in the sand and choose not to see it coming. In the end, there will be a one world government and a one world religion. Putting fear into the hearts of people is the only way to get them to follow a man on this earth. Christians will be put to death before Christ comes back for the rapture. In the end, Christ and His church will win!!
