Live From 2009 Family Days – Friday Late Night

I am sitting under the pavilion listening to some friendly dominoes players playing a game of dominoes. Behind me is a conversation between past NTX FCF President Gary “Wild Wind” Bierschwale, current NTX FCF President Art “Flintlock” Sullivan, and Kansas FCF President Paul “Large Mouth Bass” Serb. The smell of wood fire is in the air. The temperature is currently 46° F with a slight breeze. There are numerous tents set up throughout the parade field and I am seeing many familiar faces. There are some new faces as well, which is always a joy to see at Family Days. There are also a good number of campers camping in the modern camping area. Official registration numbers aren’t in yet, but I’m sure we have a decent turnout.

Our dessert action was a great success. There were many delicious desserts that were up for auction and having sampled a small few, I am confident in saying that the bakers of this district are still top notch. This auction is always our largest fundraiser during the year, and this year probably will be no different.

The FCF staff has lots of things in store for this Family Days. Rev. Derwood Dubose, former District Superintendent of the North Texas District Council of the Assemblies of God, is our guest speaker at Family Days this year, with our theme of “Ready…Go.” I am excited about our morning devotion tomorrow and our evening service tomorrow night. I believe that God has a lot of things in store for this year’s Family Days. I am believing, and I know the staff agrees with me, that we will see many miracles occur as a result of our services and prayers here at Family Days. Throughout the day we have different events for the whole family, including a ladies tea for the ladies, children’s games for the children, skills competition for the whole family, the rolling pin toss, and the potluck dinner. I have the utmost confidence that this will be the best Family Days ever.

I encourage those of you that aren’t here at the 2009 FCF Family Days to keep the event in your prayers, that God’s hands of protection will surround this camp and that no harm will fall on those that are here. Also be in prayer that God will move mightily through our services and that He will be honored in everything that is said and done. I believe that we will hear of healings occurring at Family Days this year. I believe that men and women, boys and girls will receive a fresh anointing from God and that God’s Spirit will be poured out on all people. And for those who aren’t here, you can follow what is happening here at the 2009 FCF Family Days as I blog live throughout the weekend. You will also be able to see pictures from throughout the event as I post those throughout the weekend. For example, be watching for a picture of our FCF President, Art “Flintlock” Sullivan from our Dessert Auction.
