Visiting churches is something Shannon and I agreed to before we moved. We have never “looked” for a church since we’ve been married.

Sunday we went to East Coast, the church we went to while we were engaged and the first few months we were married. I knew what to expect, and many of my readers are familiar with it so for now I’ll leave it be and it can stand as church #1 that we “visited.”

Church #2 is Calvery Chapel Space Coast. My parents and my brother and his family attend here. We are here on a Wednesday night. They broadcast their weekday service on the radio, so they are live tonight. Worship is shakey, my mom is singing backup and between her and the soft plucking of the banjo it’s about all I’m hearing through the P.A. I’ve heard through the grapevine that this is an area church #2 needs work on.

The pastor’s gift is clearly in teaching. He is a great teacher. Perfect for a Wednesday night services where you can flip (or scroll) to a lot of scriptures.

It’s hard for me not to do a “top to bottom” overhaul of a church service mentally. I’m making a concerted effort not to do that over the next month or two, and tonight is no exception. Every fleeting thought of “if only… this” or “they could..that” is bannished.

Pastor Baron is talking about “abiding” and we are in John. I would be impressed immensly if he even once quotes The Dude. That’s a lot to ask, I guess.

Ok, well. He references Samantha on “bewitched.” different eras…

Wrapping up.

If I’m not writing anything recently, it’s because….

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaughhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

That about covers it.

See you when we hit brevard.

Monday was a great work day. We got a lot acomplished.

Today was a bit slower. We had a slower start, we’ve had an episode of migrain, an episode of vomiting, and had to take the car to the mechanic. And so the packing and yardsale prep was impeded somewhat. I’m hopeful for tomorrow though. The house is starting to get that transition feel. And and as long as I keep everything in lists and steps, I’m confident we will accomplish our goal.

And the evenings have been occupied by movies, games, popcorn and hot chocolate. That’s the way it should be, right?

A few days after Christmas, Shannon and I packed up the van and headed north. With us we brought Kelly, Peter, Ruth Ann, Elin, Myja and friend Robin.

Sunday night we arrived, and I made spaghetti for dinner. Apprently it was good because we had no leftovers. Oh. And everyone effusively said so.

Monday night I made roast beef, and apparently it was good, because…lack of leftovers. Oh, and they effusively said so.

Tonight, we had a baked potato bar. There are a few potatos left, but the toppings are all gone. And Ruth told me “you were right…broccoli does taste good on baked potatos.”

Let’s see if I can keep the running streak. Good to know my cooking tasty food in large quantities skill hasn’t diminished.
