Street Preaching

On Friday, during the lunch hour, we had the privilege of going downtown to listen to Pastor preach. He preaches on the streets every Friday but this was the first time we were able to go. Since a lot of people had vacation time there was a large group of us from church. You can't tell from the pictures I captured but there were hundreds of people out, which meant that hundreds of people heard God's Word being preached. The reactions of those that passed by were interesting. While there was no outward violence one person covered their ears while they walked by and a few people hollered. But Pastor takes it all in stride and preaches directly to them. For instance when some young waving children went by in a motorized carriage Pastor called out to the "little children" and pointed them to the example of young Timothy who knew the Scriptures from his youth. It was a good experience for us to have.

After Pastor finished preaching a least one person from the street came up to ask him a question. Of course he talked to us as well. :)

Edisto Vacation

The pictures are many the words are few because I'm off to catch a nap to rest from my vacation! :)

Playing on the beach

Bike Riding and the Bike Trail

Checking our speed. We couldn't figure out for sure when it calculated so although the pictures only read 12-19mph some of us at times were registering 25-30mph!
