With temperatures into the 70s today...the official high was 73 degrees...it was time to get back out into the cul-de-sac to play a little baseball with my buddy Brady. Now Brady is just a few weeks shy of the tender age of 4, but he has the ability to rip a plastic softball past one's unsuspecting head, which he did on my first pitch late this afternoon. Now he prefers the pitch to come rolling along the ground, but he is plenty adept at hitting a lob from either side of the plate. I think that he generates the most power while batting left handed. The only thing that fascinated him more than playing ball today were the colonies of ants that have appeared in his backyard. He was totally convinced that they were a dangerous menace, and might "get him", until the ant spray that his dad applied to the colonies put them all to an untimely death. Speaking of Brady's dad...Jason had shoulder surgery today to correct a rotator cuff problem. He will have his arm in a sling for at least 6 weeks, so I would like to wish him a speedy recovery so that he can get back out there on the triathlon circuit.
This is going to be a big weekend for all of us at St. John's Lutheran Church. On Saturday from 1 to 4pm we are having a public open house for the community to come in and take a look at our new church and school building...no strings attached! We won't sign you up as a member, unless you want to, we won't preach at you, and we won't try to baptize your kids...again...not unless you want us to. On Sunday we will have our regular morning worship service at 9:30am, and then we will be having a Dedication Service at 4pm. That is a public event too. After the Dedication there will be a reception with plenty of food. That is one thing that Lutherans do very well...eat! The weather should be rather agreeable. Saturday is going to be a cloudier day and there will be a few rain showers. The high temperture will be in the middle 60s. Sunday is looking very nice again, with sunshine and temperatures back into the low to mid 70s. I might have to break out the baseball bat and go a few innings with Brady on Sunday evening!
An added note for future reference...we will be holding our first special contemporary worship service in the new building at St John's next Sunday, April 25th, at 6:00pm. We have some wonderful music lined up and it should be an uplifting experience for all who can make it. Why not come on and join us?
