Sunday on South Beach

Steve and I have narrowed down our church search to two . . . the last 2 Sundays we have gone to Calvary Chapel of South Beach.  We have attended the early Service at 9:30 am and at 11 we are walking Down Lincoln St. which is a uniquely interesting place.  It is full of people of every culture, usually dressed  casual at best and often in swimwear, speaking any number of languages; there are fun shops, and all kinds of outside cafes. On Sunday, there are quite a few people leashed to their dogs . . . or is it the other way around? 

I thought we had settled on Calvary, but Steve is much more "picky", shall we say?  I am sure he struggles with what many pastors struggle with when looking at churches, and that is an eye for detail, and a mind that perhaps critiques a bit more in depth.  We have both commented that what we really would love to find, is a church just like Mosaic.  But the Mosaic we loved doesn't even exist in Scottsdale any more, let alone in Miami. I believe it is called "Old Town Bible Church" and has a very different vision. Just a reminder to us that everything changes and changes can be embraced.

Lord willing, I will get on a plane tomorrow and head to Phoenix to spend time with family.  Flying standby is always an interesting challenge.  I have learned to put it in the Lord's hands, and if it happens, it was meant to, and if not, well . . . . there is always another time.
