What a crappy thing to have... an "old home church". Oh well... sometimes life is life and other times it's just life. People are generally pretty disappointing, huh? Time after time, they just go and show their humanness.
Anyway, those songs sure did take me back to the red carpet, the red curtain, the stained glass, the bell with the plaque in memory of sweet Papa Cecil, the whole family growing and worshiping together, singing with kids, with adults, with the congregation... all of those ties that bind. I honestly considered taking the right off old W.McN. Road to put in an appearance at OF this morning; but I was expected elsewhere... where a most loving M&D were waiting for me. It feels nice to have someone waiting for you, doesn't it? Someone who wants you to be there with them? Besides, they were hearing a trial sermon today from the potential new preach. I simply had to hear the newbie... although, I accidentally caught myself reading Ecclesiastes instead of fully listening to the sermon. Have you read Ecclesiastes lately? It's quite... relevant.
Well, I could talk all night, but I'm getting sleepy. Here are a few pics from today's apres-worship luncheon with Me-maw, Shannon & Nathan. Would you believe today is the very first time I've EVER had chicken salad? I know, crazy, huh? But I've always just assumed I didn't like it. Turns out, it's pretty tasty. Who knew? Missed you today, little one. Once again, you'll just have to photoshop yourself in. Also... no, I'm not in love with this dress... just so happened it was handy when I was packing my bag for this trip.
