Skipping Church & Smoking Sausage

I skipped church yesterday, was up and ready in time to go and then decided to stay home and read the Bible. Yesterday was one of those days I wanted to be with the Lord but not people. Does anyone know if that if a grief thing?

My friend's parents attended church and talked to my mother. They have not attended church in 30 years, Mrs. S was very moved by my father's funeral service. I hope they felt the presence and love of the Lord on Sunday and will be back next week. I pray Jesus is their Lord and Savior.

My husband and his friend are smoking sausage...it took up most of the weekend...they had to watch the fire box in the smokehouse for hours on Friday, almost all day Saturday and Sunday. I drove out to the "scene" Saturday night for dinner and again last night for dinner. Pleasant dinners prepared by my husband away from our kitchen (can I just say Yeehaw)and dining with him and our friend make for a nice evening. We ate girl Scout cookies for dessert...Thin Mints...I still love them even though I was a Blue Bird and Camp Fire Girl.

I will end this random post with a reminder:

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
