Life seems never to get too boring for me. There is always ample variety. Last week it was the Assemblies of God General Council in Phoenix and today it was “Hawaii in Modesto.” In just a few weeks now school classes will start again at Modesto Christian School. So the school board created a special Hawaiian Luau celebration for the entire staff of teachers and spouses. It was held in the spacious back yard of a family in the church. I was requested to supply a part of the “island flavor” with my Hawaiian steel guitar.
I played a series of hymns and gospel songs while they were gathering and then accompanied the church secretary and her husband, Kim and Karl, as he sang and she played the ukulele with the cute Hawaiian song, “My Little Grass Shack”. What fun!
It was a lovely evening of delightful food and fun. They even brought in a family of genuine Hawaiians to bless us with their charming movements and Hawaiian music.
Our new pastor, Lance Lowell, who was just verified by a landslide vote last night at a church business meeting, capped off the evening with an inspirational message for the teachers.
