MONDAY MORNING "YELLOWS"

Most of the time people, in general, DO NOT look forward to Mondays. It's the beginning of the work week, and they are leaving behind the fun and/or relaxation of the week-end past. There's a stereo-typed mind-set of having "Monday morning BLUES". True, it's literally cloudy outside today...overcast and slightly chilly. BUT...my Monday morning is YELLOW! Why yellow? When I think of the color yellow I think of brightness and cheerfulness....the SON is shining! And that's how I feel today! How could I feel any less after such a wonderful week-end. I've already posted about Friday night and Saturday...now recapping Sunday. The sweetness and nearness of the Holy Ghost in yesterday morning's service at Antioch was like a gentle refreshing of joy and comfort and reassurance. A youth group sang the song "Just Because" and it was obviously ordained of God because it ushered in the very presence of the Holy Ghost! How could you not leave that service filled and over-flowing! Then it was off to the Red Robin...mainly with all the youth! They are sooo hilariously funny! Bro. Sutton's message in the evening service was very good...quite thought provoking in that the focus was on being "real". His preaching is such a blessing. And I must not forget to mention...Bro. and Sis. Sutton sang together. It was the first time I had ever heard them...they are good!

Now to bring everyone up-to-date on Bro. Campbell's Florida mission. Those at Antioch heard last night from Bro. Hall's (my husband had told him he would call and let him now how everything turned out) testimony that there were a total of 12 who joined the newly organized church, there were about 60-70 at the ocean-side, early morning baptisimal, and there is another independant pastor who was present who is asking questions about the church!!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!! My husband reports there is an over-whelming possibility of our newest church in the Region growing by leaps and bounds in the very near future!!! Thanks, everyone who prayed!!!!

Now..what's on the to-do list for today? Among many tasks that I'm sure I will not get to... (being real here...inside joke) I need to take my dad to the doctor, need to mail camp apps to the pastors for the camp committee, need to draft a fund-raiser letterhead letter for every local church in the Region to go to their nearest Walmart for donations for camp, need to go grocery shopping, need to do laundry......hhhmmm...it'll be interesting to see at the end of the day just how much from this "need-to" list gets done! Anybody else gotta list like that???

That kinda sums up the week-end. There were other side happenings that I enjoyed..like Lady and I spending the night with Tam a couple of nights...laughing with Morgan over a few private observances...and spending a little time with Erika, Lance, Kailee and Maddie. Soo...till next time...hope everyone has a great...YELLOW day!!
