We finished up our first week of school on Thursday. We had a great time with the 3rd graders who were very interested to hear about bald eagles. I have to admit I was amazed by some of the facts myself: they have a wingspan of over 8 feet! After dismissal, Stephen was playing the piano in the sanctuary while the kids were waiting to be picked up. It caused quite a stir as I heard kids saying, “Mr. Stephen is playing the piano,” and then they ran in to see him playing. A few minutes later there only Sofia was left. Stephen played a chord and she would play a few notes—they played quite a song and Stephen got the sweetest hug from her when she left. :-)
Pastor Julio is preaching through Ecclesiastes—tonight's message was from Chapter 3:14-22. Between his PowerPoint and my ability to recognize/understand more Spanish words than 2 months ago, I can usually get the big picture (at least.) He mentioned the latest Steven Hawking news; if you haven't seen it, according to Hawking, God wasn't necessary for the creation of the universe. Good grief—this is what I say to him:
“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap; he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought; he makes the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the LORD standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalm 33:6-11
I intended to get this posted on Friday night, but our Internet was out when we got home from church. It's now Saturday morning and we're back in business.
Hope all you Americans who are living in America enjoy the holiday on Monday! We will be working away here in El Salvador!
