A recurring discussion here in Mexico is the weather. Everybody is tired of the heat and humidity caused by the warm ocean water (78 degrees). What has some of us excited is that for the next few days the temperature is supposed to be 80 degrees or cooler and drop into the 50's at night. Wow, I can't wait.
Our VBS this week is taken from the last chapter in Max Lucado's book "Experiencing the Heart of Jesus." We have the honor to discuss the Hope of Jesus and his return. Tonight the focus was on waiting forwardly with patience for Jesus to break through the clouds and take us home with Him. I related how when i was a little boy I could hardly stand to wait for Christmas. And as the days drew closer and closer I grew more and more excited. When the day finally came the hopes I had were realized...mostly. I did not always get what I hoped for even though what I received was enjoyed. That is where the analogy breaks down. When Jesus comes we will not be in the least disappointed. He will exceed all our hopes and dreams as he takes us home.
Do you feel the winds of change a blowin'? Maybe it is not just the weather that is breaking but Jesus himself coming to take us home.
Romans 8:25 (NIV) But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Yes, everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it! God bless in your work down there; we look forward to hearing about it. Have a fish taco on me.
Already have...and it was delightful!
you better watch what you're saying about weather people!! You never know who might read this thing!!
BTW, great picture! It would make a great background. Shame it has the date stamped in it... do you realize how much time it will take in Photoshop to paint that out!
