I had Sunday School at church with a fairly large attendance and good interest of the audience. Since last Sunday, we are studying the &#8220;watchwords of the Reformation&#8221;: <em>sola Scriptura, sola fides, sola gratia, solus Christus,<\/em> and <em>soli Deo gloria<\/em>. Please pray that the classes are well understood and, more so, that people could change their lives according to the principles of the Reformation.<\/p>\n<p>The air is definitely scorching; something around 35 &#176;C (that&#8217;s something between 90s and 100s F for you Americans) with roughly 80&#8211;90% humidity. My wife is preparing, as customary on Sunday, a delicious meal. After eating and before dessert, we will read Scripture; then we will have a little dessert, and then, off to the Sunday nap \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m drinking <em>terer\u00c3\u00a9<\/em> (a cold drink made with the Paraguayan herb Yerba Mate) and in my cooler there&#8217;s more ice than water. And I am somewhat like a pop star: lots of fans here&#8230; (no, no air conditioner, thanks).<\/p>\n<p>If you were here, I would have you for a small chat while offering my ice-cold Terer\u00c3\u00a9, and invite you to come over for our little Sunday dinner. But since you&#8217;re all far away, this will have to suffice.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, the sun is blazing, with a little North breeze added for special effect. The dogs are sleeping lying in the soil.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I think we don&#8217;t realize how enormously blessed we are. Thank you, Lord, for your gifts, large and small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Sunday is so far going well.
