FACING THE DARKNESS

OKAY!    Winter is over and it is time to come out of hibernation.  Actually, the past few weeks, I have spent a lot of time sorting through and labelling my pictures from Israel.  I am not finished yet, but its time to start making plan to go places and do fun thing.

Sooooooooooooooooo, I am starting to make plans for a two overnight trip to the Watkins Glen area with my friend, Mary Ann.  Also, Peggy and I are going to go to the Broadway Market this coming Saturday and tonight I went to the movies with my friend, Cindy.

We saw
documentary of the true story of two American aid workers in West Africa stricken with the deadly Ebola virus and the race against time to get them home and get them treated.

Bob Sorge Weekend and Connect Luncheon (March 3-5 2017)

It was a busy weekend at Faith Tab.  There was an extra service and a breakfast scheduled because Bob Sorge was visiting.  He had been at Faith Tab many times, but this was my first opportunity to hear and see him. 

I skipped the Friday night "bonfire" because I do not like driving at night much anymore.  But Peggy and I met up at my house for a fish fry from the Presbyterian Home. 

Saturday morning, I attended the breakfast which was great.  We had breakfast pizza, fruit and pastries, and everything was good.  Bob spoke and his talk was excellent.  Actually, his talk was TOO SHORT.  That is because Bob's voice box was injured during a minor surgery years ago and it is hard for him to speak, and it causes him discomfort. 
Sunday morning he spoke again during the regular morning church service.  He was excellent!  
After church, I helped Peggy with the book table.  Bob has written MANY books.  Because I helped, I was given a free book.  I picked this one because it was the topic of Bob's sermon.
After church there was a Seniors CONNECT luncheon.  Every seat was filled, and the lunch was good.  Peggy talked about a unique experience she and David had in Israel.  (meeting a Jewish art shop owner, who spoke of Jews and Christians coming together some day).
