Sunday

Sunday was a little slow for me as I had plans to show homes in Corona del Mar, and we decided to look at homes today. This is off the subject of real estate, but I have to say I was very impressed with some new construction......at Mariners Church yesterday. If you read my profile on my website.....www.PropertiesInTheOC.com.....you will know I mentor foster children. I don't have any of my own so I find this fills the void of children in my life. I was very honored this past week to have both kids request to be baptized. I was very honored that they wanted to do this on their own. I talked about it at bible school....but didn't realize I was making an impact. I met the kids at church this past weekend for the class for baptism. Their grandma brought them to church with their 16 year old uncle.....who also wants to be baptized. If you are familiar with Mariners, you know it is like a compound. There is a new student center for Jr and Sr High students. I hadn't been over since it just opened a couple of weeks ago. Usually the kids sit with me in church or the cafe to watch the sermon. We went to the student center and I was very impressed. There was a basketball court......foosball tables....and various other sports kids that age like. What was really neat is that they have sermons that mirror the "adult" sermons. We sat in on the Jr high sermon upstairs and then went downstairs to listed to the Sr high sermon. I wish they would have had something like that when I was growing up. There is also a new chapel being built. Mariners church has service in a big auditorium.....so it makes it hard to host a wedding or a funeral there and to have that intimate feeling. The new chapel will be perfect for both occasions, or if you feel like you want to sit in on an "old school" kind of sermon. They are building a little pond around the chapel to give it a serene feeling. I am pretty excited to see the whole campus complete. It was a busy day. I am ready to watch something mindless on TV. Tomorrow is a big day......showing homes again in Quail Hill and Oak Creek.....and still trying to work on my new marketing piece and website.
