Week 5 at Lakeside

This week we examined the account of Jesus and the woman at the well. We had some candid discussion on prjudice and how we are supposed to treat our enemies ….. the Biblical perspective of heaping coals and providing a cool cup of water is certainly a stark contrast than what many of would like to do. It was also a blessing to be able to share about the “living water” which allows us to never thirst again! Another $190 was raised by our kids for our water project... we are nearing the $600 mark .... 6 families will now have clean water for the next 20 years! The Lakeside "Women's Club" hosted their annual tour of homes. Almost 1500 people buy tickets for this event. There are about a dozen cottages showcased ... tours are given and the history of renovations is presented as well. Since the shuttles are crowded I drive the golf cart we use here to pick up the more seasoned citizens who were thinking they could walk .....but wishing they had not. Using my LOL (little old lady) cart is one of my favorite days of the summer! There is also a craft show held on the lakefront with over 50 artists displaying and selling their work. I posted a picture of all the bikes parked near the crafts....this is a common sight fro Lakeside events. My friend Dave Chesney.... a professor at he University of Michigan took me out sailing.... His lovely daughters are in our MGM program. I turned 53 this week...and received many birthday wishes from friends on facebook. I celebrated with a 60 mile bike ride ...and a nice dinner out with Bonnie... and cake afterwards with the families with whom we spend much of our time.
