Don't You Love Weekends?

What a full and exciting weekend we've had in East Texas! First, on Friday, July 4th, we went as a group to Tyler to eat at CiCi's Pizza and then on to watch fireworks down the road from the IOC. (My pictures will be out of order in this entry since I am just learning to use blogger.com to a greater extent-Thank you Tommy!)

On Saturday, we experienced the Canton, TX, First Monday Flea Market which is just enormous! We met this very cute, very small, sugar glider there. He looks like a chipmunk/baby opossum/flying squirrel. There were many other animals-kittens, puppies, farm animals, etc. And like most flea markets, there was old stuff, new stuff, and Fair food! Yum, greasy, yum!

This morning we attended Cross Brand Cowboy Church about twenty minutes east of where we are staying. The pastor brought a great message that lined up with what we have been talking about in the Gateway Program this week. How good of God to remind us in several different ways and settings of what He wants us to remember! We can be effective when we know our purpose and walk in humility and boldness.
