Sunday Night at Mount Hermon

I am writing this note late on Sunday night from our room at Mount Hermon Conference Center in California. Been so busy that blogging has been put to the side. We’ve had a wonderful time with the 400+ who attended the All-Comers’ Conference. I have spoken four time so far with my final message coming up tomorrow morning. We have been hugely blessed by the Six 4 One Vocal Band from Bellevue, Washington. It turns out that we already have quite a few friends here who receive the weekly email sermons. And we gave away all the KBM wristbands and most of the refrigerator magnets. It’s fun watching the Lord add new friends everywhere we go.

Tonight I’m tired but it’s a good tired. Tomorrow I preach one final time and then we go to San Jose to spend the night before our flight back east on Tuesday morning. 

PS Just like I figured, we haven’t seen the beach at all even though we’re only a few miles away. It started raining here early this morning and hasn’t stopped yet so no one did much sightseeing today. 

PPS Mount Hermon has some redwood trees that are more than one hundred feet tall. In fact they even have a “canopy tour” where they people can walk through the trees on a ropes course 100 feet off the ground. We met a man tonight who said these redwood trees are small. The big ones are about 4 hours north of here. That’s hard to believe. These are the largest trees I’ve ever seen in person.

PPPS If anyone wants to know how Christian camping is doing, I suppose that varies from place to place. But I’m told that the summer conferences and camps at Mount Hermon fill up and there is a waiting list.

PPPPS The auditorium/tabernacle has one of the top five pipe organs on the West Coast. After my message tonight, Dave Talbott played “Since Jesus Came Into My Heart” using the “theater stops” on the organ. While we were singing along, Marlene leaned over and said, “Makes me want to go roller skating."
