The Sunday after the storm

I emailed everyone I could think of this morning to forestall anyone worrying about us when they saw the news about the tornado that hit close to where we are.  For those of you who didn’t get an email, you needn’t worry about Mark and me.  We slept through the whole storm and it didn’t greatly affect Sun N Fun.  We’ve seen lots of Spanish moss on the ground and one of the wifi towers was down this afternoon, but everyone here in the park is safe.

Christmas message

Tonight we got off work early so we could attend the candlelight service at the Sun N Fun Community Church.  It took some time to get from work to Woodland Hall where the service was being held, but we were there before I was scheduled to do my reading.  I had been assigned to read John 1:1-14.  I memorized the whole thing in advance, but took my Bible up to make sure I didn’t forget anything.  We recreated my reading here at home for your listening pleasure: Continue reading

From Brunswick, GA

We crossed two state borders today, skipping over South Carolina.  We will be back in a week or so, but we are in a hurry to spend Thanksgiving with my cousin and his family in Orlando tomorrow.  By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  I trust you will be with family and enjoying the food, the fellowship, and “the game” (whichever one you watch).

Our day did not start out well.  You may recall that when we tried to park in our campsite last night, there was a truck parked there and Mark had to honk for a while to get the owner to come out and move it.  This morning as we were packing up, a woman with a clipboard came by and told us that the next camper for our space was there.  We were supposed to have a checkout time of 11:00.  It was only 10:30.
