My mind wandered back to 1974....yep!.....the year that I graduated from Perquimans County High School. I remembered the Monte Carlo - one of Chevy's hot cars of that era. I well remember how they capitalized on the summer past time of baseball and the smoke-filled backyards of America's grillers as they stoked up the fire and added some "hot dogs". And I had to do a search on youtube and it was there - the famous jingle..."Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and Chrevolet!"
In case you forgot, check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rYXmWY9HY4 . It's a catchy tune that grows on ya.! It's a tune that always causes me to think of America. The 4th will be a time firecrackers and bottle rockets, waving the red, white, and blue, and of course, grilling some "Ball Park" hotdogs (those are my fav).
But what do we do since it's Sunday? We worship! Psalms 33:12a says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD...". Before you plan your Sunday events for the 4th, make sure that you begin the day with worship -- declare the Lord's worth! Join us for "Red, White, and Blue Jean Day" at CSC. Put your jeans on, find a red shirt or a white one and join us for an awesome time of praise and worship and the Word of God at CSC at 9:00 AM!
You'll be on your way in no time to the festivities that you plan for the day. Jesus said, "Seek first, the kingdom of God..." in Matthew 6:33. Let's do it! Plan your 4th with the Lord and join us in the main sanctuary for some musical fireworks with Pastor Brandon Crawford and the team. Then, hear the message of the week as I bring "Stressed or Blessed" series to a close - "God's Answer to Fearing the Future" . Share this special service with your friends and invite someone to celebrate the 4th with you.
Worship at CSC, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, Baseball in the yard, and some Fireworks -- sounds like a great 4th to me!
