Today is Saturday, a day that "normal" SDA's go to church. Lorraine and I are NOT normal. Its not that I don't enjoy church, its not that I don't feel close to God there, its that sometimes there are far more important things to do. Today is one of those days.
Lorraine and I volunteer at a fire department, we spend a considerable amount of time at the department, we feel this is our calling. Today we didn't go to church, it was camp meeting and thats not something we enjoy. So...we decided we'd stand by at the station in case there were any calls. Since the station is a volunteer station, its not always staffed, when we got here today, there was only on person here.
A while after arriving Tim (Mr. Johnson) and his two amazing daughters got here. I have grown to really appreciate them, they are so well behaved, its a testament to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson's following God's leading, but I digress. We talked with another FF James Clack and Sammy for a few hours until Lorraine woke up. About the time that Lorraine woke up, Mrs. Johnson arrived. Now everyone is talking and enjoying time. Conversation's are ranging from FD topics to nursing to life in general.
This is a fellowship, this is a group of people that enjoy each other's company and enjoy time spent with them. This is a time rejuvenation, a time of healing, a time of refreshment.
