Bible Study at FBC is actually Revivals called W.O.W.

And of all things Elder Beasley who starts our revival off went to school with my Mr...Elder Beasley is a tried & true Baptist preacher. Preaching the word, singing at various times, shouts from the visiting Pentecostal members. I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to not only worship in my church, but to also experience other Pastors scheduled for the Revival...

 OMGee, 2 Saturdays off in a row !!

🤔 Hmmm, what to do? 

Well, this showed up on social media a few days ago so why not?

Well it was a BUST! All it was, was a neighborhood “crafter's” get together…

Oh well, together with the Kid & G’Kid wasn’t a waste of time.

2 of my runner friends did a race in my town while I was at the festival.

They enjoyed breakfast at Waffle Stop where I work.

Some mail that was such a surprise….and so appreciated.
