Yay! for clear skies!

IN the midst of stormy weather, massive thunder and lightening, and bleak radar forecasts; 27 people in 6 cars, from 4 churches gathered in faith under clear skies for a drive-in movie showing of Harry Potter at the Vintage Drive-In in Avon.

Thank you to Incarnate Word, Our Savior, Atonement and Reformation for having faith and gathering with us in fun and friendship to see the movie.

During the movie, I glanced up at the sky and saw millions, no gazillions of stars. I looked to my left and I could make out the outline of the storm clouds to our north and west and kept one eye on the lightening flashes all through the movie. Thank you God, for keeping the storm at bay.

It's okay, I was confused anyway. I'm a muggle. I've seen some of the movies and read some of the books, so there was a definite gap in my HP knowledge and so I know I missed a lot in the movie. Thank you to Charlyne Hickey for whispering helpful comments during scenes where I was definitely lost.

Since Brother Christopher wasn't able to join us due to a death in the family, I struggled through a devotion based on an article in Christianity Today on the "Gospel according to JK Rowling.

We found references to Matthew 6:21, 1 Corinthians 15:26, and Luke 12:15. Look them up and see if you can them in the Harry Potter books.

Hope you guys can join us next time!
