What an awesome weekend!!!!!

Chrysinda and I went on a retreat this past weekend with some other believers from close by. They are all part of house churches with no particular denomination. They just simply read the Bible and follow what it says and don't worry about what other men from the past or present tell them to believe. It was such a wonderful time of teaching, worship and fellowship! I have longed for this type of church environment since I was a teenager, because it is modeled after the New Testament Church, but I honestly didn't think it could exist in our present time and culture, but it does!

More on the retreat later, but I wanted to share the group picture and a song. There was one song that was sort of a theme song that stuck in everyone's head all weekend. The lyrics are straight from the King James Bible (verse 1 was the chorus):

Psalm 133

1-Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2-It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3-As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

From left to right (like on Facebook): Angela, Brian, Jennifer, Dan (seated), Terreta, Sarah, me, Kathy, Chrysinda, Cliff (seated), Barbara, Daniel, Camille, Scott, Royce and Luke. There was one more, Ernie, who had to leave before the picture was taken.

I already miss them all!!!
