I'm live from Scranton, PA today. Tim and myself just arrived moments ago for the Dave Matthews show tonight. I can sense the jaws dropping now, but he's a huge fan and I wanted to see some state parks and national parks so I tagged along for the show tonight.
But the day didn't start the way we had anticipated. We had hoped to leave Albany in time to go to Minnewaska State Park, but we got derailed and would've been really pushed for time so we for went the state park so Tim could ride his bike here in Scranton.
It's an interesting little town. Pretty view of the surrounding mountains from our hotel window. Not mention the University of Scranton and an old train depot are in our back door.
The leaves on the way over were very pretty. The leaves have started to change in NY, but when we got into PA it was amazing the difference! The leaves in PA are much prettier at the moment than the NY leaves. I would've guessed it would've been the other way around, but I would've guessed wrong. But thankful to see this part of the country.
We had another very good mid-week study last night. We had some visitors from the area Tia and Bryana. Everyone knew Tia beforehand, but not everyone had met Bryana. Both of them have had interesting roads to Christ. Both of them came out of the International churches of Christ. The brethren were very thankful that they came to visit.
I've completed my series on 1 Peter and will preaching one of my favorite sermons "Fishers of Men" on Sunday. It's sad that this the last Sunday with the brethren, but I'm honestly ready to get back home. This has been an amazing journey, but my body and mind realize that this is all temporary and am ready to get back to "normalcy." But there's so much more to do before a return to "normalcy."
Both the brethren and myself have learned that neither one us really knew what to expect from one another...as the month winds to a close we're thinking of all kinds of ways I could've been put to better use. That's not to say that we haven't used our time effectively, but that we probably should've done more with one another during the weeknights. Nevertheless, I believe it has been very helpful for both of us.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers and concerns. I can't wait to see you guys.
Hope all is well wherever you are.
God bless,
Wes
