Our church is doing a thing called SOS (Summer of Service) we have shirts that say "The Church has left the building. . ." - went to the thursday night out at Jensen Beach (downtown hang out night) and handed out free bottled water (no strings attached, for real!) - didn't even invite anyone to church - just gave them some cold water. It was awesome to watch their faces when they heard it was free. . . people were not sure how to react.
It was great . . Jeff and I befriended these two street musicians (one had a mohawk), they were so funny. had a great time interacting with them and all the different people there. We are doing this all summer and then hopefully going to continue on. . .
I think this is may be a little more like it should be - getting out and meeting people, giving them a smile and saying HI or have a good evening. We got alot of smiles in return. Can't wait for next week!

Feeling Good!
I don't think anyone can appreciate good health until they have been through a bout of bad health. Pain can really mess you up. A friend told me last night that I looked happy. . .guess I have not been very 'happy' lately with a torn muscle in my back. The meds can make it that much worse. But. . .it helps me appreciate what others, with much worse health issues than I have, are going through. . .
Getting older is not what you think it is when your in your 20's. . .now in the 40's you look at life alot differently.
Thank God for each day He provides! Don't wish it away. . .

An actual car jacking. . .of sorts. . .
This is a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota,Florida...
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. Shedropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"
The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. . . For the same reason she did not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs in the front seat. . . A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.
She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair and carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed.
MORAL OF THE STORY? If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it memorable!
