It was a good crowd for the little church. The music, as always was great--Trinity is so lucky to have it's musician. He could work anywhere but he stays with us.
My sermon was well received.
Coffee hour was good as well.
And it was warm enough!
I'm a real nut about being warm....
The sun is shining bright on Saturday afternoon. It's rained for several days that seem like several weeks.
Still a little cool for my taste, but not real bad.
I finished my sermon this morning--pretty late for me.
Looking forward to church--next Sunday off.
I've become really attached to this little church in the northern part of the state. Great people who are generous and kind and serve the poor in several ways.
Not a bad life.
Bern got beautiful flowers from our son and his kids.
I gave her salted caramel candy and a card she really liked.
She'll hear from Mimi tomorrow, no doubt.
Now, if I can just get this darned tooth fixed....
One of my best friends from high school and college replied to my post about Tabitha and Dorcas to tell me a friend from college was dating a woman named Dorcas.
I didn't remember, but then I did.
I always need people looking over my shoulder to straighten me out.
That's the kind of guy I am.
Corrections are always valuable.
They make us stay within the lines.
And staying within the lines is a good thing.
At least, I think so....
A horrible nightmare woke me at 2:37 a.m.
I thought I'd never get back to sleep, but I did.
I slept to 9 a.m.
And I have no memory of what the nightmare was.
Sometimes it's good to be getting old and not remembering things.
This is one of those times....
Rained almost all day. Around 6 I saw a strange yellow thing in the sky--the Sun?
Went to the Library to get some books.
I read a lot...more than I watch TV.
Sunday's lesson from Acts has Tabitha in it--who Peter raises from the dead. Her Greek name is Dorcas.
I don't know anyone with either of those names.
Wish I did....
Tabitha is a great name.
Bible Study tomorrow at Trinity. We're reading the Gospel of Thomas from the Gnostic Gospels. Should be interesting.
I went back to my dentist about my loose front tooth.
She gave me three options: 1. implant, 2. 3 crowns, 3. a dental device better than the one I'll get in the meantime.
I think I'm going with crowns. Most of all because she can do that and not an implant--I'd have to go to a dental surgeon for that and dental surgery is not on my list of things I want to do. Plus, it might not work.
So, I'll call her tomorrow and we'll got from there.
I wish I didn't have a dentist--but too late for that.
Wish me luck....
Church was great--fewer people than usual but two of the regulars are in a play that had a matinee.
I came home to scrambled egg and turkey sausage. Brigit enjoyed the left-overs.
I've played Solitaire and Hearts on my computer and done well.
I made new food for Brigit and went out to get Pinot Grigio.
Which I'm enjoying as I write this waiting for Bern to call me to dinner in the TV room--just before 6.
I also finished a David Rosenfelt book and loved it.
What could be wrong?
Rain is not a problem--we have roofs on our porches.
Life is good--so Good.
Thank you, God....
