Highway Won September 2010 Update

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven—Ecclesiastes 3:1


Hello and happy end of the summer season to one and all! As I write this we are in the midst of a beautiful afternoon here in Cambria, a great place to be this time of year. We are entering the season that seems like a new beginning in many ways with the return to or start of school, more structure in our schedules rather than the fancy free feeling summer brings, and all the other changes in our routine (or lack thereof). For some people this season brings a sense of pleasure, but to others a foreboding of fear. Yet in each season of life we face it is refreshing to know that God is still at work. He is moving to accomplish His sovereign plan in our lives even if we can’t see it or understand it. Like the author of Ecclesiastes reminds us, God “has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” (Ecclesiastes 3:11-12, NKJV). No matter how difficult the times are that we face, as God’s child you have the assurance that He will make all things “beautiful” (fitting, appropriate) in the right and best timing. We have conflict in our lives because we have one foot stuck in this temporal, fallen world, the other aimed toward eternity without the long sight to be able to fully comprehend what’s going on. So my suggestion to you in the times when the seasons are changing and you are unsure and confused: Hang in there and remember that there is a perfect timing and plan being worked out even in this, and leave the part of your current situation you can’t understand up to the One who does. As someone once wisely said, we don’t have to fear tomorrow because God’s already been there!–TK

So What’s New?

Labor Day weekend will quickly be upon us, also known here in Cambria as Pinedorado! This is our annual celebration featuring food, fun, and other festivities, including the “fabulous” Pinedorado parade on Saturday, Sept. 4th, approximately 9:30 a.m. (Warning: Be there early!). There also is a car show on Sunday for those interested, over at 3:00 p.m. (last year the cars jetted out of there right away so again go early if you want to see them). It all is a lot of fun, and the local businesses all tend to have special deals and special hours over the weekend, including Highway Won. Here is our Pinedorado weekend schedule, at least as planned as of this typing:

Friday, Sept. 3: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 4: Before and after the parade until 7 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 5: 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. (Approx.)
Monday, Sept. 6: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Our Summer Music Sale ends at the end of the business day Labor Day, but for the weekend of September 3-6 ONLY we will be offering 10% off all purchases of $10.00 or more. Come by and let’s celebrate all of our hard work over that long Labor Day weekend, save some of our hard earned money, enjoy the Pinedorado parade and activities with us here in Cambria. We look forward to seeing you!
