We got up kind of early today. Linda and I are going to go to church with Kim at the “Rock”. Miles McPherson is the pastor there and I think he used to be a football player but I’m not sure. I took a couple pictures there..
The church is really big. When we went in we went up the stairs around several corners and then down again. I’m not sure how big it is but Kim said that it was built to the dimensions of the Ark. If it was, the Ark was humungous! I took a couple pictures inside….
The service today wasn’t a preaching service but was out of Ephesians where Paul said God gave some apostles, some prophets, etc for the equipping of the saints…. The gentleman with him is the representative for the 2nd ward where the church is. The church has 102 ministries, all volunteer, and they did 160,000 hours of community service last year and they are on track for 200,000 hours this year. They have three services in the morning and two in the afternoon. The picture of the sanctuary above is a little early. It was full. Not sure how many it seats but I think they have a congregation of about 15,000. Very large church and doing a lot for the community.
In the afternoon we stopped and picked up Dave and decided to go to the Cafe Coyote. Mexican restaurant. The food was good and so was the music…
After lunch we had to decide what to do for the day. We tossed around different suggestions like mountain biking, air show etc. We needed to stay out of the sun for awhile, even though at this time it was overcast. We decided on the “Air and Space Museum”. I’m glad we did. I could have spent a few more hours in there watching the videos they had. Got to see a great video of the Blue Angels and another of Amelia Earhart. They were very interesting and informative.
I thought the space capsule was interesting. It held two people and weighed in at 11,000 lbs. The tire in front was from the space shuttle. After going through the museum we went to the beach, well, it wasn’t a beach but was beautiful there, great scenery….
Looking East towards downtown San Diego and the next one is looking West towards Cabrillo and the marine layer coming in off the ocean…
The afternoon was cool and breezy and I’m sure at the air show it wasn’t! We really enjoyed the day and with all the walking and fresh air we were ready to call it a day.
Brenna had taken Alexa and Jake to Awanas and they made it home about 7:30PM. Alexa got sick and they were both wore out. Jake got sick a little later, feel really bad for the kids but I think it may have been exhaustion from all the days activities.
We stayed up for awhile but went to bed about 9PM, time to rest and relax and try to get a good nights sleep…Catch you on the flip-flop….
You did have a great day. It's wonderful to hear that Brenna's church is so active in the community. It's evident that the community would miss The Rock if it's doors closed. Praise God.
ReplyDeleteHope Alexa and Jake are feeling better.
