Going to the Rock – The Rock Church that is. Since we’ve started traveling full-time, one of our frustrations has been finding a place of worship on Sunday mornings. We’re usually never in one place long enough to find a church we feel comfortable. So we made it our mission this time to find a place to worship today and next Sunday. Barbara put Google to good use and the Lord led us to a church that we were thrilled to find. It is
The Rock Church in Bangor. They have three services of worship on Sunday, one being at 9:30 am, which is our time, and they are only 10 minutes away from home. To say that the service was packed would be an understatement, there must have been 200 plus at the service we attended. Contemporary, causal, uplifting music and a meaningful message. Thank you Lord for leading us to this wonderful house of worship. We’ll be back next week, our last Sunday in this area.
As for the rest of the day, we practiced the art of doing absolutely nothing. Well, not quite. I found more things to do and check on Graybeard. Can I help it if I can’t sit still? There always seems to be one more thing that needs attention. This time several of the overhead cabinet doors were squeaking every time you opened them and that drove me crazy. Time to get out the spray can of lubricant and take care of the problem before the hinges began to seize up. Who knows what else I’ll find in the next few days!
Other than that, we did some bookkeeping and other odds and ends but not much more. Most of the day it was raining so nothing could be done outside. The rain finally stopped mid day, the sun came out, and the weather for these parts is rather warm – like 69 to 70 degrees.
Tomorrow we’re heading over to Acadia National Park and one day this week we’ll probably also go to the Seal Cove Auto Museum that a friend of ours just tipped us off to. Oh yes, there is also I can guarantee you a lobster diner in my future sometime next week! To come all the way to Maine and not have lobster? Perish the thought!
So the day is coming to an end. I’m still trying to adjust to the fact that the sun comes up at 5 am but doesn’t go down until a little after 8 pm – meaning we still have 30 minutes to go before the sun sets. My internal time clock is just a wee bit off to say the least. We had another great day spent together on the road of retirement. We hope you did too. Let’s all always remember, paraphrasing another great public figure,
Only you can prevent your day from becoming other than what you want it to be
So that’s it for now. As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for movie night, then our evening prayers and finally some shut-eye. Till tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing our day with us.
These are the voyages of Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans. Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
"On The Road of Retirement" 
Glad you found a church that you enjoyed. I miss my church family when we’re away and our church is very small. We feel fortunate if we have 20 in attendance, but we have a terrific pastor. Well, enjoy Acadia. We loved the area, but I wanted to watch the sunrise from the mountain, but I was out voted. We did have lobster, lobster roll, and lobster bisque at a little place outside of Bar Harbor called Lunts Gateway Lobster Pound. Not a fancy place but the food was DELICIOUS and the prices were much lower than in town. We also had blueberry pie, yummy!! Have a beautiful and exciting week.
