It's a rainy Sunday afternoon here in 2010 too. In fact, flood watches are in effect. Not a whole lot to comment on here in Bonnie's entries. The thing that really catches my eye though are these yellow floors. Wow. I bet that was pretty awesome looking. I wonder what Bonnie thought of yellow floors? I can't really tell from this entry but he did write about it and it was kind of like a little extra note on the side. Good Palm Sunday at church today. Nice crowd. I read yesterday in the Bible from Deuteronomy 7:22 where God tells the Israelites that they will not take all of the promised land at one time, but little by little and that they will have to fight for it, that it will not come easy. The visions that God gives us are kind of like that too. We are so impatient in our world. We have created a culture where we can have pretty much anything we want and get it right now and that has made us very impatient. Visions from God though take a little longer to come about, often because there is something God is teaching us in the process. And yes, sometimes we have to struggle in the process too. But God is always faithful to see us through.
