Here it is MONDAY morning in the desert.  We are visiting my youngest son Todd in Henderson Nevada.  Yesterday was an AWESOME day at church.  For those following this blog, First Henderson United Methodist Church is where I spent 21 years of church development quality time and Pat and I were able to see the current Youth Group serve Youth Sunday Worship. It was a magnificent service!  The Youth group is an ongoing Honored tradition that FHUMC is well known for.  They have seveal STIX prsentations on UTube and have been asked to perform at the Desert SouthWest Annual Conference this year.  Really a great honor.  During our time at church yesterday Pat and I were so warmley welcomed by our dear church frinds. We are looking forward to seeing more of them thorugh the week and next Sunday. Pastor Jim gave us such a warm welcome we do appriceate his love and support.  He is a perfect fit for the folks of FHUMC as I can see.

Then spent time setting up a 20 gallon aquarium for the granddughters in a fairtale type fashion with pink and purple gravel and a castle, pink treasure chest, and assorted arificial plants.  We will be finishing up with the heater and filter system today and if everything is working properly, the fish come home tomorrow.  It sure helps having worked in the aquarium retail business years ago . . . the basics remain the same, technology improves. ha ha

Today my son Todd and I are visiting a very good FaceBook friend Doc, this morning.  The last trip here was so short and so much jammed in, I ran out of time to get to see him.  I vowed not to let that happen this time.

Not much has visually changed here in Henderson that we can see.  The trees and scrubs are larger, but that is about all. Traffic is horendous as I had expected it to be, as living in Rutherford for six years where rush hour is right after church lets lets out, and there are five cars on the road at the same time!

So we have a week of visiting friends, and playing with the family. What wonderful rehab this is.  Will try to write more in the morning.

Remember, keep singing, keep praying, keep smiling,

Blessings,
Gary
