This past Saturday evening I met up with a few friends @ World Outreach. They started up their outdoor services on Saturday evenings for a few weeks in the Fall. It is so nice sitting outside under the stars and beautiful sunsets in the background too. Experiencing the worship and word of God coming forth. Something about singing praises to the Lord in the great outdoors, do you agree.
We each brought a few light picnic types of goodies we shared outdoors too. Yes, we shared during the service because friends do gather and break bread together right. I have a short video clip of the guest speaker sharing. He recently released a new book, "Letter To The American Church." After the service we had to accomplish two things: visit and bless one of our friends that had a food truck there with making purchases to support her business; purchase a book and have it signed by the author. Both tasks were accomplished. I bought 2 cinnamon rolls and I then cut each one in quarters. I put them in fall design cupcake liners and brought them to work to share along with some peanut butter brownies I made too. This time instead of a plain cocoa butter cream frosting I had a ripe banana, so I mashed a part of the banana and added that to the cocoa frosting. I also made a little plate to give to my neighbors.
After seeing our friend, we went into the church to get the book and then have it signed by Eric Metaxas. As we walked into the church there was Pastor Jackson, so I thanked him for bringing back outdoor services in which he responded We Are Back to me. I also inquired if the church had a drone flying around outside during the service because I noticed it. He replied yes to my question. I pointed it out to my friends and told them to wave at it because at one point it looked like it was zooming in on us, how funny is that. You should know by now that I am a pretty observant person that catches details. Even dreams Holy Spirit gives to me are detail-oriented dreams. It is true, He works with your personality and then continues on in the format of dreams He gives to you. When someone may overlook a minor detail in a dream I for some reason catch the attention to that detail. Fascinates me, it really does.
In the bookstore I was told the pre-signed copies of the book were already sold. They handed me a book after I paid for it and guess what? To my surprise it was a signed copy, but I still got in line to have it personalized. I have done these many times before, meaning having a ministry type of book signed by an author. I also wanted to thank him for interviewing Ken Fish on his programs. He told me Ken is a good friend of his. I asked him to please tell him to come back to Nashville because it needs deliverance here. He replied that someone had to invite him to the area. I am not a church so I guess that would have to be a church invite to Ken Fish. This man has the most beautiful penmanship when I looked at what he wrote in the book. Isn't it lovely? He penned God Bless You. That must be a popular statement authors tend to pen when signing books at gatherings.
