It's Sunday!! It sure was good to be in church today. The music was great! The worship was even better. We sang songs in English, Zulu and Xhosi (with the English translation written underneath so we could understand what we were trying to sing. It was stunning and amazing. It's new and moving experience to sing a song in a language you don't know and to still feel the Spirit move you. During devotional time at the Seed of Hope each day, they start off by singing, mostly in Zulu, and we don't know the songs, but I still feel moved by the Spirit during worship. It's a very interesting thing for me.
Anyway, the worship was great, then it was followed by a time of open mic testimony, praise and words of encouragement (I thought of you Joel!) One of the elders spoke instead of the pastor but it was still a great message. We knew a couple of people there from the Seed of Hope so we chatted for a bit, but the media geek in me stole some time with the media lady to check out how they do things.
Pastor Stu was invited to speak at a Nazarene church so he was off on his own. So Jeff, Gary and I took in some lunch at Mike's Place, a little pub down the street. The legal age here used to be 25, is now 18 and they are moving it up to 21 soon. I thought that was interesting.
The Schwartz's were hanging on the beach today despite the cooler weather and misty rain so Jeff and I went with them where the kids started a pick-up game of beach baseball using a cricket set. People probably thought we were crazy but it was a blast.
We are off to a braai put on by Dan and Kerry Weins so we will be eating well tonight!
I'm a little nervous about the the week to come at the Seed and working on my new relational intentioned time there, but I know God will is there so I'll be fine, if just a little uncomfortable!
Chow for now!
