Check Out This Good Lookin' Guy!

It was GREAT getting to see David last weekend and spend a couple of super days with him! We made all the stops in Atlanta, including the wide round trip around the city, sometimes in his cool little red car and sometimes in the cool red Jeep Wrangler that I got from Budget Car Rental for my trip. It was fun all the way.

I'd be thinking about getting my own Jeep like that one day if it wasn't for how much that little vehicle loves gas stations. So I think I'll pass.

Sunday morning we went top-down out to Lithonia to go to church at New Birth Church where Eddie Long is Pastor. We had heard Eddie speak at a Promise Keepers rally a few years ago -- talk about a treat and a great time of worship! Pastor Long is an outstanding preacher of the Word who is also a Black brother. And his church is probably 98-99% Black. Out of 3-4,000 people who were there, David and I saw at least 2 others with our shade of skin -- surely there were at least twice that many! But talk about great singing and preaching of the Word! Our cups were full by the time we left there nearly 3 hours later. We received more hugs and smiles and happy greetings than I had seen in a long time! One thing -- there's nothing dull there -- the people definitely participate in the worship! (Sort of like the folks in the Psalms did, I'm sure).

In the afternoons they have a Latino service, and with David's growing fluency in Spanish, he just might check out that one sometime. That would be a neat experience! Next Sunday is Easter Sunday and New Birth will have their worship service at the Georgia Dome! I guess I'll stay in Texas for Easter this year though.

More updates very soon. Love to you and yours today!
