Good Morning Sunshine

There are not many do-overs in life, but there are fresh starts. Some are chosen and filled with great excitement while others are just another step in the path the Lord has laid in front of us. Some have said that doing the Will of God is just doing the next thing.

Although this blog is really for me, I trust as I move through transition into Chapter Four of my life, you will ride this roller-coaster with me as a friend and companion and hopefully, we will all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sunday

Today was a very special day. We looked on the internet and typed in Evangelical Churches in Crete: We found two. So this morning we headed to the church in Herkelion. It said it was near the McDonald's Take Away. We found the McDonald's; but where to go from there? Many don't speak English so getting directions is difficult. Finally Rich went into McDonald's and he met a couple from Ireland who was looking for the same thing.

What a joy to meet other christians in a strange land and we headed down the street together. According to Greek custom, we were invited to lunch at someones home. Fun! Fun! Fun! Great message from a young man and we felt a kindred spirit with them all (However, first time we had wine with communion).

On an island with 500,000+ people, there are only a handful of christians. Most are connected with the Greek Orthodox Church, but have never heard of the Bible or a personal relationship with Christ.They asked us to tell others to pray for them.

It sure looks like you are having an enjoyable and relaxing time. It's a sweet experience to worship with believers from other regions of the world!
