Catching Up

Last weekend, we had a relaxing and blessed time in Winthrop.  It felt like we were on vacation.  We again enjoyed good food, fellowship, and worship.  On Saturday morning, the Steiner men took me fishing.  I caught one fish, and it was so small that Benji took him home and put him in the aquarium!

Thursday we finally received a nice rain of  7/10s of an inch.  It is too late to help the corn, but it will be good for the soybeans.  The grass should start greening up again now.

I just finished reading Blood Covenant by Michael Franzese.  He was a wealthy and powerful Mafia boss in New York's Colombo family.  He eventually fell in love with and married a beautiful woman who led him to Christianity.  He became Born Again, and left "the family".  But he spent time in prison and struggled for years overcoming his past.  He now has a successful ministry helping athletes and underprivileged youth avoid crime, gambling, gangs, and the problems he was involved in.
It was a good reminder that no matter how great the sin, God's grace and forgiveness is greater.

Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
Genesis 12:1
