As ritual goes, every other weekend we head out of town. Yesterday, we went to yucca valley to visit my grandparents. After a couple of games of rummikub, we decided to have a bible study. Which is another thing that we have made a habit of, the guys that feel led to worship (Josh, Chris, and Devan) lead worship, and those of us who feel led to be teachers one day (Myself, Jesse and Devan) give a sermon/sermonette. Well this week was my turn. Since Josh
needed a red bull, we decided to just have it behind the building. This was great! Devan Played a couple of songs and an old lady came and told us we had to go to the far side of the parking lot where we were more visible. This was distraction number one, after we went to the farside, Josh played a few songs of worship, when the same lady told us to move closer to the building. distraction number two. With all this we were still able to praise God for who He is. Soon after the second move, Chris began leading worship, which much surprise their were no interruptions. A short while after I we opened the word and shortly after I began to teach, A lady came up and used the payphone that Chris was sitting right next to. Distraction number three wasn't too distracting. I just pivoted my feet while Chris and Josh smoothly relocated. I continued speaking when an older native american man parked his diesel truck a couple spots over and started filling his tires. Not too bad, just enough to make us laugh and realize that with four major distractions, gas stations might not be the best place to hold Bible studies. However, we were able to talk to the gas station attendant about the gospel of grace opposed to a legalistic religion. I really loved the whole night. Wherever God will be praised, there God will be pleased.
