Isaiah 53:5 "He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed."
It is such an amazing act of love on His part, for all of us. Today is all about Him and it was a beautiful day in The Lord, indeed.
Our neighbors received the message with no disruptions today. All went smoothly and again GOD showed all of us His faithfulness.

Gathering together (Friday)
To those that follow on a regular basis, I apologize for my posting delay... but it has been due to a wonderful cause. The past 2 Fridays have rolled into the following day or two. What I mean is... I have not had time to sit down and blog right away, because I've been hanging out with one of our friends from PB more, even after we leave from the beach. I'll share more about that later.
It felt really good to have Amanda back with us! It was obvious that the crowd missed her... and her cooking. We started the night off with communion for what I had planned to be for our LTN Team, but 2 people from the crowd wanted to join us. I made sure they understood that taking communion was not meant to be done as a 'religious act' but a very real meaningful purpose for our Lord Jesus Christ... they understood and partook with us. It was sweet. I think we had a total of 21 people breaking bread this night. Last year it was on my heart to do this annually, to celebrate another year that the Lord has provided and been faithful to the Ministry.
The vision long ago became a reality this evening. With so many of our Believing friends coming down to not only be available to help serve but to allow themselves to be used to share their faith with others... I glanced down the crowded row of people and noticed my brothers & sisters all spread out, showing His love in gentle conversations, with love & humility.
