This past Friday totally reminded Amanda and I of what it used to be like when we first came to PB, nearly 3 years ago. This night, at most... we had 20 people, but the sweet thing about such a small gathering is the more time we got to spend in fellowship, giving that extra one-on-one time for prayer or simple friendship building.
It was a very windy night. So much so, that the wind caused one of the electrical wires above to arc. The authorities were notified immediately but for just over an hour, the bright flashes lit up the area, giving all of us an exciting show wondering what was going to happen next...
Eventually, all power to the PB area went down. Nobody likes to stay indoors with no power, so numerous folks came out on their balconies or on the pier. Our brother, Jason continued to play worship music with his guitar in the thick of the black night. The wind seemed to wind-down and the waves started to calm, and everybody was able to hear the delight of worship to our Creator on this night.
Because we had such a small attendance, there was PLENTY of food to go around, but we try our best to be good stewards of GOD's provision, so the majority of our team stayed with us for the long haul. I think we stayed on the boardwalk until around 8:30 or so.
People often ask us why we do what we do. The answer is so simple- "We love, because GOD first loved us." (1 John 4:19)
