Marshalls Update # 2

Here are some of the latest pictures. My son and I got to enjoy our second blue jay game as my wife and daughter went out shopping.

The weather has been just beauitful here. We have yet to go to the beach (just the FREEZING cold pool) but rest assured we should be getting there within the next few days.

We are keeping you all in our prayers and look forward to seeing everyone when we return.

Marshall's Vacation Update #1

Greetings one and all from sunny Florida!

We have all arrived safe and sound and the sun is shining and the temps are very enjoyable.

Thus far we have enjoyed the pool, worked on a sun tan, done some prelim shopping, Adam got his hairs cut and tonight Adam and I are headed off to the bluejay game in Dunedin vs the Cincinnati Reds.

Here are some pics - enjoy!

Good Friday

The Wonder Of Your Cross by Robin Mark

The wonder of your cross shall be our meditation
To gather in that shadow when the sun went down
To weep with those who thought that you were leaving,
You were leaving, Jesus
The humble King who never wore an earthly crown.

To steal away at night when they took down your body.
With love and tears to leave You in a borrowed grave
To go with Mary to the place they laid You,Where they laid You, Jesus
And in the morning find the stone was rolled away

The cross, O the wonderful cross
What Glory, what victory, I've found
I'll come to the wonderful cross
And my whole life I lay down

Were heaven's praises silent in those hours of darkness?
Your Holy Spirit brooding round that empty throne?
Until the declaration "He is Risen", You are risen, Jesus,
"He is not dead, behold He lives for evermore".

Today in church we had a visit from Pontius Pilate (played by Joe Ludlow) and then Captain Tiffany brought forth the meditation from God's Word.

The praise & worship was awesome and a blessing. If you were unable to attend this week you don't miss another. Next Sunday the thief on the cross will make a "guest appearance" at Church and we will hear from His perspective as we continue with our "Hearing From God" Lenten series.

See you then!
