It rained on and off for most of last night and for a good part of this morning. It also turned colder, only reaching the mid 50’s this afternoon. Because of the rain, we were back in side, sanding and refinishing patio furniture. I would include a picture, but it would be the same picture from similar days last week. So that was our day.
When we gathered for devotions this morning, the volunteer coordinator asked for one volunteer from the women to greet in the chapel. There was crickets for a bit, then Deb said, “I’ll go.” That took some fortitude on her part as the last time she was in the chapel there was very little to do. She walked up the hill in the rain after changing into chapel-approved clothing and was told she wasn’t needed. So she walked back down to the administration building and helped roll silverware. Even that job was a bit make-work as they ran out of tubs to put it all in.
Things are a little slow here in some areas as The Cove was shut down for the entire weekend and people just didn’t come out on a gloomy day to visit. So any work connected with the hospitality just doesn’t exist right now.
For the guys, it’s different. This furniture-refinishing project has been going on since early fall and there are numerous maintenance projects going on that keep everyone busy.
After dinner, the three couples of the SOWERs piled into Mike’s pickup and headed to the training center. Colton Dixon was there in concert and we were invited to attend. It was just him on a keyboard and he did a wonderful job. I appreciated the songs he sang which were God-honoring and his testimony did just what he said his desire was: it pointed to Jesus.
The auditorium seats about 440 people and there were just a few open seats. It was a small enough venue that from the back row where we were seated, we were only about 10 rows from the stage. The sound was an appropriate level, not too loud, which made for a very enjoyable evening.
