Good Week!

The above picture is the view of the mountain this morning when I was walking the dogs. The picture really doesn't do God's creation justice--it was absolutely beautiful.

I shared several days ago about how swamped I was this week, but I was swamped doing things that I love. I had some visits to make, taught What Makes the Church of God the Church of God? on Wednesday night (only two more sessions left), prepared my teaching for this morning, attended Janelle's Sweet Adelines concert with The Sounds of Pittsburgh, and taught about the Holy Spirit in our Institute for Servant Leadership Doctrinal Track.

Below is Janelle's chorus mid-concert. In this picture Janelle is on the back row, second from the right. My new camera phone is much better than my old one, but it still doesn't do well from a distance in low light.

This morning I taught from Matthew 5:3-5 in the first of a 3-part series on the Beatitudes, called The How-to's of Being Blessed. I really enjoyed putting together that teaching, and I think it was received well.

How could I? I almost forgot to mention another one of my favorite things. I got to watch the Steelers beat the Browns. It was a close game with the Steelers coming back from a 15-point deficit. Life is good.
