Well, it's been 15 days since I attended church and my spirit has been craving a gathering with other believers. If you remember, on Friday we met friends of Anna's family for lunch at Benihana. Those friends just happen to be a minister and his wife. They extended an invitation to join them on Sunday and I immediately jumped on the invite whether anyone else was going or not.
After talking with Anna, we decided we would leave our RV park around 9:45am, Sunday School started at 10:30 and as usual, I prefer being early than right on time or late. Anna took a deep breath and said OK. Then she turned to Frank and said, "I have to set my clock to get up at 5:45" so I can have everything that needs to be done done.
I'm not sure what time she actually got up this morning, but we were right on time leaving the park. We arrived 15 minutes early which was good to visit before service. Others joined us for Sunday School and one of the pastor's daughters was the teacher, who as a professional, teaches kindergarten in Anchorage. Alright some of you, no she did not talk to us like kindergarteners. She talked big people talk, I think.
We had about 1/2 hour between Sunday School and regular church service. One thing about God, you take what God gives you. And with God you have a choice to reject or to flow on. The church may have been small but the spirit was gigantic.
Whether you call it Sunday School, Bible Study, Fellowship, or whatever, it all should lead to Christ our Lord.
After the Word, prayers and testimonials, we all hugged and they said "We'll meet you at the RVs." For you see, they wanted to see the RV's that had traveled from Kentucky and Washington. They were surprised that we could not drive them to the cul-de-sac and turn them around at their home.
Our final hugs and good-byes at last came and off down Alaska Highway 1 we went. Going to Trapper Creek RV Park for the night. Tomorrow to Denali National Park just hoping that the cloud covering is gone or maybe we'll wait a few days just in case.
