Praise Team and Date Night!

Yes, I know, that is somewhat a disjointed title, but this may be a disjointed post, so it seems to fit!

The music that was chosen for this morning's worship service really spoke to my heart....thank you, Rhona, for allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you as you choose the music each week.  It is definitely a gift from above!  And during the past weeks I have once again realized what a privilege and blessing it is to be part of a praise team....to see and feel the Spirit working is such an awesome thing, so a big thanks to the music ministry of TCN for allowing me the privilege to be a part of such an important part of ministry and worship....I am honored and grateful to you, and to the Lord, who has given us the gift of words and music that mesh and meld in such a way that sometimes we are ushered into such a sweet spirit of communion with our Lord.  Praise His glorious name.

Now for the second part of this post.....Saturday was DATE NIGHT!!!  We had decided that we wanted to try out the Lynnhaven Fish House....lived here for how many years (too many!) and had never been.  Went early, thinking that it would probably be crowded....it wasn't crowded, but we were glad we DID go early....got primo seating right by the window with an excellent view of the Chesapeake Bay.  It was a very relaxing dining experience....and even tho' the she-crab soup was touted to be the best in Virginia Beach, it was really the crab cakes that got my attention!  Yum-yum to the max!  And Willie was happy with his choice - Scallops Lynnhaven (served over a bed of crab meat).  And the carrot cake....can't believe I turned down key-lime pie for a few bites of Willie's carrot cake, but I did.

As we sat and watched the beach goers, we were oh, so tempted to take a walk, but when we walked out the door....not so much!   The heat and humidity were just too oppressive....so we decided to take a drive....down Shore Drive, and along the oceanfront (where the crowds were oppressive) and then on out to Sandbridge and the quieter....and on this day, more importantly, cooler beaches!  We really enjoyed our walk along the beach....just strolling with no destination or agenda....NICE!  Thought I'd share a few of our photos from our walk....unretouched.  Personally, I can't wait to "play" around with them some...already thinking of some changes, and how I want them to look for the obligatory scrapbook page!

This type of view always reminds of the poem, "Footprints In The Sand"....and serves as a reminder of how God carries us through so many of the trials and troubling times in our lives. 

Maybe this post has been a little disjointed, but like our lives, God "runs through it"....weaving all into a beautiful tapestry....praising His name through music, enjoying time spent with the man God has blessed me with, and enjoying the beauty of His creation....maybe not so disjointed, after all!
