Today was a much needed family sabbath. We went to Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring where Voddie Baucham preaches at. It was about an hour away but we enjoyed the familiar Sunday drive. As soon as we got on the the road we were slammed with traffic! Bridge construction meant they closed off the main free way! Well, it's Houston, ONE of the main freeways. So thankfully these reformed churches have very lengthy services and even being 30 min late we were still in time for two hymns before the sermon began!
Pastor Baucham was preaching at a 4 year celebration of one of their church plants so a teacher in training (title?) was preaching.
Praise God: the very theological discussion that Kevin and I had on our 16+ hour trip down here was the very thing this man preached on! It really encouraged us to seek out the answer in God's word and not be satisfied until we do. It's so easy to just say "well it would be nice to know but I don't have time to find out. I guess I'll just do without it".
I feel God's hand nudging us on.
After church and fellowship meal, we left around 2:30 to head to Sugarland, Kevin's old stomping grounds. It was so neat to see where he lived and how it has changed. He even drove us by an old friends house by memory. We stopped at the gate to see if anyone was home and the gate opened and there stood Miss Debbie! We chatted with her for a little while and talked about Kevin's childhood friend Garret (who doesn't live there now). But come to find out, Garret lives not far! Seeing as we needed to head back home for pizza, there was no time to go and visit so we gave Garret a call and he stopped by Ryan and Amy's after dinner and visited for a bit. How neat! Because of the time, it was a short visit and sadly there are not a whole lot more times to visit before we leave. Lord willing we can do breakfast before we head out on Wednesday. If not, it was fun to see old friends!
