Yesterday, I spent my morning and afternoon in the greater Hellertown/Coopersburg area. I started my day going to
Saucon Community Church with Josh. The sermon was centered around
Proverbs 16:1-5, which outlines God's sovereignty over all things on Earth and that we should search Him for all answers to your plans in life. Before Sunday school, we ate some popcorn in the kitchen area and were approached by Russ, the door greeter. He made my day with what he said next. He asked if he had seen Josh and I walking and holding hands or if it was just an optical illusion. We all laughed and said it wasn't an optical illusion and Russ apologized if he caused any embarrassment, which he did not. I was just greatly amused.
Following church and Sunday school, we made our way to Coopersburg for the 7th Annual Chili-Fest that was held at Mark and Heather's. About 10 chilis were entered this year and there were 43 votes cast. The winner was Heather's Texas Tom's BBQ Brisket Chili, which won with 14 votes, narrowly beating The Pursuit of Happiness, which received 13 votes. It was definitely a wonderful time of fellowship with members of the Bible study and community. I chatted with various individuals about everything from bright colored clothing, making lasagna, and making a chili with steak, hamburger, corn, and extra cheddar cheese, to running injuries, Christian community, and how to create a no-sew fleece blanket. All in all it was a splendid gathering leading up to the Halloween Parade.
Around 3pm, a handful of chili-fest goers made their way to Main Street in Coopersburg, which was right down the street, to watch the parade go by. Everybody was excited to see fellow members of the Bible study on floats, twirling, and riding by in their designated spots. We cheered each and every one on whilst snapping pictures and trying to collect candy without tackling little children in the process. Also, some very interesting questions arose depending on what was coming down the street, such as "Does that woman have legs?" and "Who is in the limo?" It was definitely a beautiful day for a parade and I enjoyed getting to know many of the fellow members of the Bible study.
