Today Henry and I went to the library to connect to the internet. However, I did not get the blog written then. Anyway after getting somewhat caught up, I walked back to the house. Wildwood Estates is an older neighborhood of brick homes with basements and wide streets and beautiful trees. I’d like to live here if possible, but the house prices are about $400,000; about 10 times the original cost. Maybe, someday.
One of the new homes across from the FIBC in Glendale.
The plum trees are really beautiful.
We went to Faith Independent Baptist Church in Glendale for our first Missions Conference. The Rick Dove family is in Costa Rica and the Pape family are on deputation to the Dominican Republic. Ricky gave his testimony, and Pastor Mike Creed from our home church preached about the four areas of giving.
The first point was every Christian needs to tithe, Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:4. The second was giving with a willing heart—stewardship giving as a need arises. The third is alms giving or benevolence giving in secret, Matthew 6:1-3. The fourth is faith giving, 2 Corinthians 8. Don’t tip God, but give obediently.
After service we talked until nearly 9:00 p.m. with folks then headed home.
