Ok, I have freedom here, as CS and LCS are on the road going home. I can do whatever I want!!! LOL!
I got to the church about 5:15. Not many people were there, but I wanted to spot them before they spotted me.
I texted LCS about 5:30 asking if she was there yet, but she didn't answer. I sent her three messages and even called, but she later told me that her phone was left in the office.
I was sitting on the opposite side of the church than they were, and while I spotted CS praying for folks, I couldn't find her in the crowd. There were about 300-400 people there, and I was on the floor instead of the balcony. I was afraid that sitting in the balcony would make me a bigger target for the preaching! LOL!
CS started his sermon by promoting violence in children (he spoke about how good it felt to take out his frustrations on a bully when he was in kindergarten.....LOL!) and likened his story to putting the devil under our feet.
His message was titled "What Will You Become?" and preached about David and Saul and the differences in their anointing and ministries and their end. He spoke a couple things directly to me (sorry, Mark. It wasn't hair, jewelry, or pants!), but CS doesn't even know what it was and had no way of knowing anyway. It was only God that knew what I needed to hear.
After the sermon, people gathered at the altar. I was practically there already from where I was sitting, so I prayed in my seat. The pastor of the church came over after a little while and recognized me (they know my mom) and he left to get LCS. CS then came over, introduced himself and shook my hand. It was very nice meeting him.
LCS came over and sat beside me. Since church was still going on, we prayed with one another and sang. After church, I was invited to eat with them and the other pastors and family. LCS is crazy (in case some of you didn't know this already), so I fit right in....LOL!
I had a blast. I wish it could have lasted a little longer.
Here are a couple pics for your enjoyment.
