Palm Sunday - Rain


March 28th - Palm Sunday - High 65 degrees - humid and thundershowers later

We jumped out of bed early this am to get ready for 9:00 service. Lou had heard the Chaplain at the Famcamp chapel and was anxious for me to hear him. There were approximately 75 campers in attendance. Lou was right it was a wonderful service with a lot of singing. The message was a powerful thought on the scripture of Matthew 27:51 regarding the temple curtain being rent from top to bottom. He shared some facts with us regarding the construction of the curtain. 60'x30', the colors were blue, purple and scarlet, taking 300 priests to move it, held up with pillars of gold which were 8' in length.

The chaplain told how the priests would take the sacrificed blood behind the curtain and how after the curtain was rent, God opened the door between Himself and His people. Now Jesus is there and having shed His blood for us for the forgiveness of our many sins. Girls, what we heard today was a Southern Baptist message, Amens and all. I throughly enjoyed it as did DH. Not that I am going to change churches, but do have an appreciation for all kinds of worship and the different ways of presenting the message. Good to see that God uses all in different ways.

After church we fixed an omlett for breakfast and then spent the afternoon catching up on our study of Mark. It was a wonderful day to spend in the scripture with reading and discussion.

As we were ready to start laundry, we had a heck of a thundershower, and you can see from the pictures, it was some rain. Lou was glad to see it, as that way he didn't have to wash the car.

I took advantage of having electricity today and put a beef roast into the crock pot, so tonight for dinner we enjoyed roast beef, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, creamed onions, tossed salad and for dessert we enjoyed strawberry roll jelly cake.

We are enjoying Amish Grace on television this evening and tomorrow we are off to visit with friends.
