Howdy, everyone, and I hope your Sabbath is off to a wonderful start! Ours certainly is.
Before we get to the Friday Night Greetings video, let me mention some news about the Creation Weekend. Folks are signing up! Even locally, if you are going to participate in the weekend, please do sign up on the Creation Weekend page here on this website. While many of you will not need housing (those in Cincy, for instance), I know this page gets frequented at times by folks not in our area, so let me mention a bit of news. I have heard from some trying to book at the discounted rates at the Comfort Suites in Lawrenceburg who were told that the discounted rates weren’t in the system but they gave them the discounted rates, anyway. I hope to get that cleared up after the Sabbath this weekend, because the general manager, herself, made that agreement with me and I have her e-mails. (In fact, the person who told the family that the rates weren’t in the system also told them that I need to talk to the general manager about the matter, and that manager is exactly the person who made this arrangement with us.) It shouldn’t take long to get sorted out, and I will do that this weekend ASAP. In the meantime, I haven’t heard of any other difficulties. In fact, all seems to be going very, very well! Thanks for your prayers as things continue to come together!
Back to more immediate local concerns, many of you have been praying for the Carpenter family, and while I will give you details in the announcements tomorrow, let me say here that Mrs. Carpenter did die last night. Mr. Carpenter is not out of the hospital, yet, but he says the staff is working diligently on ensuring he can leave before the funeral, which is scheduled for next Tuesday. Details will be in the announcements this Sabbath. (Though you can click here for details from the funeral home, itself.)
The Friday Night Greetings video is below — a brief one, for once, with some math-inspired thoughts on the assumptions we often hold concerning each other. Have a beautiful Sabbath.
