Deuteronomy 10:20-21
You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name. He is your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.

We will have our regular time of fellowship here in Altamonte Springs today. I believe that the message will be about a couple of characters that were made famous by the American writer Washington Irving in the early 1800's.

They obliquely give witness to the truth of the Word written by Paul the apostle in his letter to the Colossians about the body of Christ. Irving's tale set in early post-Colonial America is all the more scary (or troubling) when it is spiritually appraised in these days when men are lovers of self and believers don't seem to know, as Arthur Burt used to say, 'Humility is not a virtue, it is a commandment.'

Afterwards, following lunch with others from the fellowship, Alice and I will get the paperwork in order for a visit with a Christian school in Stuart, Florida tomorrow. We will be leaving early and may spend tomorrow night out on this journey depending on what time we finish up down there!
