"Hangin' out"
It has been 185 years since Dom Pedro the First cried out "Independence or Death!" (Independência ou Morte!). Brazil won it's freedom from Portugal in a battle on the shores of the Ipiranga River, present day São Paulo, and a new country was born on September 7, 1822.
Least you think Brazil holds to traditions of other cultures, guess again. There are no fireworks here for this particular celebration...one of the American girls visiting asked me, "Why?" Well, I guess there just weren't any bombs bursting in mid air. So there you have it.
The "Christ is Life" Church spent the weekend of the 7th at a retreat. Lots of relaxing, swimming, food, laughter, good preaching and singing.
