Golf, Earthquake, Fire & Picnic

Glad to have been back in Brownwood when the earthquake hit California . We would have been about 25 miles from the center. We were where the fire is burning inYosemite National Park so we escaped that by 10 days.

Can't believe I played golf at 6:30 tonight in the heat, but nice breeze keep it fairly cool. Great fellowship! Thanks Jeff, Brad for the invitation. Second time in just over a year, second time in 10 years. Also can't believe I shot a 53. Better than Tiger Woods, hu! ( Oh, forgot it was only 9 holes. He plays 18)

Church picnic was lots of fun. Enjoyed playing softball, even got a hit. It is always a joy to see church family enjoying each other. The fellowship is so good to see. The heat wasn't too bad after my cotton shirt got wet. Kind of like an evaporative cooler, doesn't work well in humidity, but better than a fan. Well as dry as it is in Brownwood, an evaporative cooler would work. We all need to pray for rain-rain-rain!

Last week I talked to an older man, almost 80 years old(who had visited the church) about the Lord. He said he would like to know how to get to Heaven. I explained how and his comment was that he was not ready to make that commitment. Why do people put Jesus off? I am deeply concerned about him. I hope that all who read this will pray for him and that I will be able to follow up. When I encounter people like this man, I am always reminded how urgent it is for all of us as Believers to share Jesus ever chance we get.
