Heavenly Worship

Just got done with worship which is pretty much undescribable. I journaled for a bit while there and wrote something along the lines of I can't understand much but God was really powerfully present. Drums, unbelievable vocals, dancing, melodic rebel yell sounds - it was a very "thin place" between God and us - amazing!! After church we took a group shot or two by the Livingstone tree where we believe Livingstone camped and proclaimed the gospel. I actually climbed the tree tie on and all and had a blast doing it. The kids refered to me as a big kid - felt accurate and right. We are hanging out at the house now and it is so good just to see people finding quiet places and processing with God. Jesus says the Sabbath was made for us not us for the Sabbath - we needed this Sabbath. I can't wait to fish some time soon after lunch. Emily was on a big swing and it looked like something out of the south with the river in the back ground. Considering we have sweat team nearly every meal you can tell southern American churches have been really involved here. Ben is going with the schools assistant head master to do Bible Studies in the village this afternoon and 5 of our students are having dinner with Heath who is Ida's right hand man at the hospital but it looks to be a really restful day. The choir is coming to sing for us tomorrow night and we hope to get a good recording - if not some previous visitors made one that has been turned into a CD that I will rip and have available. Marv at church calls himself a chief "wing flapper" he would have loved to have seen this choirs director not to mention a few of the voices - not taking anything away from our wonderful choir at FPC. May have pulled off a first for fantasy baseball by keeping on top of my team, including dropping and picking up a player from Mwandi. Good stuff. Praying for you all and counting on your prayers. In Christ. - Jon
