Sunday in Columbus

One of the girls we met during Challenge, Janika, recommended a church with a Sunday service called Vineyard Village.  The time was perfect, 11:30am, after a long day on Saturday, and it was nearby.  The fellowship meets in the basement of another church.  The message that morning summed up what God had been teaching us throughout the week at Challenge.  As we studied the Beatitudes and were challenged to go out and spread the gospel, Josh Weir spoke on sharing Jesus and the good news. 

Our hotel has a grill, picnic tables, and it was 4th of July.  We decided to cook dinner that night after a stop to the store down the road, Giant Eagle.  If you take a look at the ad, you'll know why.  Corn on the cob for 16 cents each, berries for $1.50 a basket, sweet onions at 99 cents a pound, and thick steaks!  We rounded the meal out with mushrooms and loaded baked potatoes.  Ross and I prepped our food and waited in line for the grill.  And waited.  And waited.  The person in front of us said he'd be done in 10 minutes.  Two hours later, we're waving bye to him!  He left behind his roll of foil that we really needed, so we didn't grumble too much.  The grill was filled with our stuff, and we could smell the food cooking. 

We enjoyed a great meal with perfectly cooked meat, grilled veggies, and steaming baked potatoes.  The leftovers went into the fridge for sometime later.
