The Emmanuel Baptist Christmas Pageant is worth every minute of watching. I’ve attended or watched from the internet every year since 1991 and it’s always just as fresh and beautiful as the first time I experienced it. This year Bryan Riley, who is now living in Enid and a member of our church, sang.He has an incredible voice.
It’s usually crowded, not a seat to be had, and it’s usually miserable outside, but that’s what makes our Pageants. To watch it you can tune in here. You may have to register, but take the time to do it. While you are there, listen to a sermon or two.
Sunday night at 4:50 pm I received a surprise phone call from Dee of The Wartburg Watch inviting me out to dinner. She and Deb were both in Enid visiting and doing some pretty exciting stuff. I did not hesitate to accept after I got over the excitement of the call. It was a great time, and I now have two more strong women as friends. They are as incredible in person as their writing is on their blog. It was a time of eating and stimulating conversation that I will not soon forget. Thank you Deb and Dee.
I worked until 12:00 am Saturday night so I did not attend church Sunday morning. I wish I would have, Dee and Deb were there as well as at the matinee performance of the Pageant. I am so thrilled they experienced the church I love.
I’m going to make a prediction here that may get me stoned, but here it goes. It’s women like Deb and Dee, Christa Brown and others I could name, along with Biblical minded men who have seen what scripture actually teaches, and not the traditions that we have heard that are not actually in the Bible, that God is going to use to purify the church. A badly needed purification.
Good to see you back!
Thank you Lee. It’s sporadic right now, but I do love to write.
What Lee said. So .. do like I do. Write when you want to. Don’t when you don’t.
Thank you Bob. Good advice and that’s how I’ve been doing it so far.
