THE PRODIGAL HAS RETURNED!
Janie and I have been gone the last three Sundays. By God’s grace and goodness, we were able to
fulfill a lifelong desire of seeing the Grand Canyon. We did see it…and it lived up to its reputation.
We had never been out west except for business trips or conferences and we had never been to
Nevada, Arizona and Utah. We talked about it for years and just never made the time. This year we
pulled the trigger and went. We have as strong a staff as we have ever had and so I felt completely
confident that our Father would bless them to do whatever might need to be done. I want to thank our
staff for covering for me during our time away. Thank you.
By the way, I think you will understand why we do not ask our staff to advertise when they are gone.
Social media is too easy for people with bad intentions to access. We do always try to let our leaders
know when we will be out of town.
At age 65 our pace is a little different from the glory days. We would spend a day hiking and then the
next day recovering! Our first week, we spent a day at each of the following areas: Red Rock
Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park, Zion National Park and the Hoover Dam. Don’t get me started on
the Hoover Dam jokes!
The second week we left Nevada and went to Sedona, Arizona. There we spent two days at the Grand
Canyon. It really is awe inspiring. We would just sit and look and marvel at our Father’s creation. It
looked like God made His beautiful world and then took all the left over beautiful pieces and made
the Grand Canyon. We spent a day at Red Rock State Park and several other popular hiking
destinations. We would carry our lunch and find a quiet place and just enjoy His beautiful creation.
All that being said…the prodigal preacher and his lovely wife have returned! I am back in town, in
the office and looking forward to being with our church family this coming Sunday. I will be
beginning a three part teaching series I am calling “You Have A Story To Tell”. This Sunday we
have the Parent-Child-Church Dedication at the 11:00 Worship Service. And on Sunday, May 30 we
are planning on Celebrating the Lord’s Supper and Baptism. If you would like to participate in any of
these services, please let us know. You can call Neale at the church office at 843.762.0244.
To God be the glory! Good Lord willing, see you this Sunday!
