Rainy & Drizzling

The last several Sundays afternoons have been spent outdoors at Hummel Park running on the Plainfield trail system. Today is an off day since the half-marathon was yesterday and because today's weather is not a day to spend outdoors. The Indy half-marathon (also known as the Mini) is the largest one in the U.S. with 35,000 registered. That's a huge number and yesterday the weather was almost perfect though we had been expecting wet and cold. The temperature was in the low 60s at the start but it was dry though a bit breezy. My overall time was 2 hrs 24 minutes.

Attendance at this morning's early service was light since it was Confirmation today at the second service. Eleven youth were in the confirmation class and that meant that seating might be a problem since many members of extended families would come.

The sermon today began with the question "Do you remember your confirmation day?" It's a day when we vow to be faithful to God until death. I believe that today many youth are assaulted with a more ungodly world than in my younger days. It is kind of scary.
