Building Community

We’ve been on a grand adventure this summer at church with our Summer Vacation emphasis, Discipling Through Community, (see my post June 10th). This past Sunday, June 29th we continued to see how people are hungry for a feeling of community, of belonging to a larger family. We had a picnic. Nothing high tech, nothing that flashy, just bouncy houses, a dunking booth, food and squirt guns. We mixed in a lot of food, some music, threatening weather, and did I already say, squirt guns.

Around 550 people came! The really cool part was how many were brand new faces, people I didn’t know. Someone remarked that the crowd looked like a community outing, not an internal church event, because there were so many people that were new. Everyone had a great time. People said, “we need to do this every month”. Every month would be a challenge, but the message was clear. People want more opportunities to spend time together and have fun. We want to hang out with people older than we are. We want to hang out with people that are younger than we are. We want to hear your stories, we want to be a part of your life.

We don’t know where this is going to end. We’re just going to keep providing opportunities for people to build community with each other, and let God do the rest.

 

July 4th in Florida

Yesterday was the 4th of July.  Living in Florida I celebrated at the beach like a lot of other people; shame on me.  Back on March 30th I posted about the scary people I saw at the beach.  Guess what, they’re still going to the beach!  For the most part, they are still snow white, although a lot have graffiti, they are still large, and they still wear swim suits that are way too small.

I think it is only a matter of time before a lot of “them” start buying the Speedo LZR Racer suit.  The LZR (pronounced lazer) is the suit that is helping swimmers set records in most events at the Olympic trials.  The suit does it’s magic by reshaping a swimmers body in “drag areas” of your body, buttocks, breasts and upper thigh, by inserting on the suit, slippery, polyurethane panels that “compress and reshape” those body parts. These panels compress the body with 70 times more force than nylon.

Don’t misunderstand why “they” will be buying the LZR.  It’s not because of the re-shaping, it’s because the LZR will be the hot suit to buy, and they know they are hot.

 

UGA VI dies

The University of Georgia ends a rough week on a sad note as UGA VI dies. He lived a dog’s life that was incredible. He will be missed.

 

DAWGS win College Baseball World Series !!

Yes the Dawgs won the College Baseball World Series.  Unfortunately for me and other UGA fans, it was another Dawg team.  They kicked the UGA Dawgs.  We did not play like JunkYard Dawgs in the last couple of games.  Well to quote some Gators out there, “just wait until next year”. (It was our third trip to Omaha in the last five years).
