Robbing A Church Is Just Wrong!

I am asking anyone that reads this to take time to say a prayer for my church here in Aberdeen, Cornerstone Church. I was just informed by my pastor the church was robbed sometime late Saturday evening. There is substantial damage to approximately six of the doors, $390 were stolen and some other damage that I am not aware of.

We have a very small church and a $1000 deductable on damages. Pastor Larry told me he believe with the wonderful men we have at the church donating man power, we may not reach the $1000 deductible, but it is still a hard hit to our small church.

I was told, the persons didn't take any of our equipment, so praise God for that, but it still is a bit unnerving when you think people will steal from a church. The church was being repainted by 2 wonderfully dedicated ladies and was really nice. It saddens me that someone could be so disrespectful.

It is my prayers that whoever did this, need the money much more that our church did and I know the pastors would not want me to think badly, but to forgive.

If you feel led to send our church a card to pick up their spirits or a few dollars to help alleviate the burden, I know they would feel blessed and you would receive a blessing! The address is:

Cornerstone Community Church 2008 Sumner Avenue Aberdeen, WA 98520.

Its Monday

So, it is Monday and I am posting more pictures of our trip from yesterday. Okay, my bad, I took this one by just rolling down the car window and snapping the digital camera and yes, that is just as bad as talking on the cell phone, but I had no one behind me and I did slow down. This is another part of the western Washington Coast.

This one, I did pull over, but didn't get out of the car because the shoulder was so narrow I was afraid I would get hit.
As you are driving between Westport and Raymond, all of a sudden, the beach and ocean views end and you begin to get into the tree's a bit more. I just loved this picture because it was a contrast from spending all day at the beach and then to see these beautiful trees and the scrub under them.

You also drive around and you can see where the ocean literally meets the roads and becomes what I call a marsh or bog and I am sure the locals have a better word or the correct word for this, but you can see where the tide has gone out. Trust me when it is high tide in some places around this area, the water is and does come over the roadway and they have to close the roads.

The drive around the western Washington Coast isn't in a complete line and you must follow the roadway through many small towns such as Grayland, Aberdeen, Raymond, South Bend, but the feeling of complete and utter relaxation is so worth it!

And last, another beautiful picture of how the ocean was so blue and calm yesterday. It was so amazing because I have never been to the beach in 2 years where it was so blue and calming. It was as if even the ocean was taking a break from winter!
