12-26-10 Sunday, 6:15 am Springfield, 19 degrees, windy
I am looking forward to worship this morning. Bruce Boehmer will be preaching, and I will be in each service, doing the welcome, the morning prayer, the benediction. Ed is out sick today, as he was for Christmas Eve. Bethany is singing with Lauren and Rochelle, and Priscilla is playing the piano and leading some of the congregational hymns.
Yesterday, Christmas day was a wonderful holiday around the Baxter house. David and Danelle were with us, as was Bethany. We slept in until about 9, after the 5 Christmas Eve services. We opened presents until about noon, and then got ready for hosting the Collettes for dinner. After a beautiful ham dinner with all the sides, we enjoyed pie and coffee, fudge and candy as we watched from beginning to end “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
Rev. 17:1-18
John is taken in the Spirit to see the great judgement of the harlot riding a scarlet beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. The angel leading John explains some of the judgement. Reading these verses reminds me of the unseen realities, and of the cosmic end times. I am living today in a period of relative calm but even so I understand the vulnerability of world power and the susceptibility of world rulers to corruption, etc.
Guide me today Lord as I lead the church called Wesley on this Sunday (boxing day in England), as we worship and adore your Holy Name, and offer our lives as your servants.
