Wow

This morning I rolled out of bed early for a Sunday morning in my new life. I got dressed, ate my nutritious bowl of cold cereal and made it to church by 8:00 a.m. Our church family was moving into their new sanctuary. This building had been years in the planning and at least a year in the building. Hurricane Ike gave it a good shake down, but it survived rather well.

So, today, for the first time in years, the whole church family got to sit in worship at the same time. Until this day, there was the early church and the late church. It is a challenge a lot of churches face.

The building was deceptively simple and small on the outside. Once one entered the building, it became obvious it's outside was an optical illusion. The building was huge and simply elegant. Now our church can combine all its Bible Study locations into two building and all its worship will be together.

It was a great service. Simple but spiritual, beautiful but powerful. The morning closed with two baptisms and folks stood around and admired what God had done.

It was another good day with the fellowship of believers.
