Last week Anita and I were on vacation. We stayed at Saginaw, and drove around “the thumb” of Michigan twice. There is a small town on the Lake Huron coast called Caseville. We wanted to check out a couple of cabins that our friends Steve and Lana Bach rent out as we passed through town. To our surprise Caseville was having its annual festival, the Cheeseburger Festival. There were all types of “flea market” type tents sent up, and about twenty places all selling various cheesburgers, all vying for the town’s highest award. You can guess what we ate while there. Plus Anita bought a purse and we both purchased some new sun glasses.

At Caseville there is a pier that extends quite a ways out into the bay. Steve and Lana told us sunsets were beautiful off the end of that pier. So we stayed quite a while waiting to see the sunset. Finally a big rain cloud rolled in and blocked the view of the sunset, so we left disappointed.

After Jesus ascended into heaven, his disciples, along with about 500 others, were standing there gazing up into heaven. Two angels appeared and asked, “Why do you stand gazing up into heaven?” (Acts 1:11). There is work to do before His return, and we must get ‘er done.
