Another Sunny Sunday

We attended the meeting this morning at a different congregation from last week. It was the one we joined for service on Wednesday. Again we were treated to the outspokenness that characterizes the people here. It flavors the Watchtower Study comments which were plentiful. I liked one older sister's comment, "I'm not a good singer but I sing anyway because I know God cleans it up between here and heaven."

We had planned to go in service after the meeting but chose the wrong Sunday for that. The brothers and sisters had designated that day as 'Congregation Beach Day.' So there was no arrangement for us to attend. We were invited to join in that which sounded tempting but we came home for a quieter beach day of our own instead.

The weather of course could not possibly be better for a Beach Day. In fact I can't remember such a string of uninterrupted, gloriously warm, sunny days like what we've experienced since getting here.

This is the scene inside the Kingdom Hall after the meeting. All the halls we've been to in Florida have theater seats. And the grounds on which the halls sit are always very spacious. But no-window halls are definitely the rule.

After a quick lunch and a little rest, we returned to the beach, once the hottest part of early afternoon had passed. Here are a couple of photos of Nathan playing in the surf.
