Winter Park Boat Parade

Though our girls have been sick most of the weekend, we were able to
get out for a bit tonight.  We are glad we did.  We spotted a sign
earlier today announcing the Winter Park Boat Parade
and so tonight we headed over to Dinky Dock on Lake Virginia.  We ate
our Chik-fil-a, sat on a blanket on the beach and watched a boat parade
through the chain of lakes.  There were probably 100 or so people at
this location.  It was a good communal event.  People talked, kids hung
out...it was festive...Florida style.  I had been bemoaning the weather
and the lack of Christmas feel, but tonight was good.  It also reminded
me that people really love their community.  I have heard this
sentiment expressed several times over the past couple of days...I am
grateful to be here, though often not as grateful as I should be.
Excited about planting a church that contextualizes the Gospel in and
for this community.
