April 12 Day 36 Sunday Sabbath

Several Months ago my friend Lisa, with whom I am currently staying, told me of her church and the excellent spiritual teaching from her Pastors.  I have been listening to the Senior Pastor, Bob Botsford, on my I phone for several months and have really enjoyed his teaching.  Lisa and her husband attend the church where he is Pastor.  The church, Horizon Christian Fellowship North County is about 1/2 hour from their home in San Diego area.  It is a large church with an amazing campus and building.  Before leaving home I had hoped  that when I visited Horizon church I would be able to meet Pastor Bob Botsford.  Lisa didn’t know if that would be possible as he was not usually available before or between service.  Well we walked into the courtyard at the church’s entrance and there he was just standing there with a couple of other people.  Lisa walked up to him and introduced me to him.  It was my pleasure to meet him.

It seems as if everywhere I go I meet the nicest people.  Today at Horizon Fellowship I met a lady named Kim.  It is always delightful to meet and talk with somebody and hear a bit of their story.  We first spoke in the ladies room and continued out into the foyer.  Thank you Kim for your conversation and being so kind to me.  When I am on the road there are times when I don’t talk to people for hours.  I know that seems impossible coming from me.

Bill, Lisa, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch out and an entertaining afternoon looking at new homes in the area.  This entire area is built on little mountains or maybe I should say on big hills.  I don’t know which.  All I know is I’ve never experience so many winding, climbing roads.  It is so lovely to look out over the mountains and see the valley below.  Right now you might say that I am on the mountain top of life.  I love the views.  Tomorrow I leave for Orange County which is less than two hours away (for most people).  Let’s see if I can get there without getting lost.

What I haven’t told you about this trip is the fact that rarely is there a trip I take that I don’t get lost, turned around, or doubtful as to my correct destination at some time or another during the drive.  God has bailed me out a few times and just so you know He is the best GPS ever.  I actually have a mapquest direction sheet, a GPS, an Iphone google maps, state maps and God.  I’ve turned the GPS off as she interrupts too often, I don’t use the Iphone because it is too small and too dangerous to operate while driving, the map is too cumbersome and doesn’t not cooperate.   So…being a woman I just stop and ask.  So far I’ve always made it.

We watched another movie tonight, “God is Not Dead” .  If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it.  It was about putting God on Trial. I thought the movie was well done.

Very sleepy again, must go before I nod off.

Good night
