It was nice to have the opportunity to spend time with friends at the picnic. There was a good quote from my friend, as we were having a conversation. Implying that men should be the ones who initiate and pursue, she said, "I'm not the one who is missing a rib."
I also had a chance to see some old friends; and also run into some of the people who were on the Journeys of Paul tour with me. I was sad, however, to learn that Steve Merrick was going to be leaving EV Free. What a great loss it will be for the worship and music programs & productions at that church. Even today's music at the picnic were mainly organized and put-together by Steve. He had Jon Gibson as a guest musician, who I remember from my college days. As he was playing the music, his sons James & John would join him with percussion and guitar. Watching them, I was thinking that it must be nice to be so comfortable getting up on stage and playing music; since it was obvious with the ease that they did it, that they often played with their dad.
Overall, it was a nice day; and a good way to remember and honor those in the military, and especially the widows and orphans who have lost loved ones.
