It finally happened....
 
Earlier this evening, I was finishing praise band rehearsal at the church I work at, and the thought hit me. "I think I'll go to Love and Truth this evening." Here I was, all prepared to enjoy an evening of worship with all the good folks at Love and Truth. I arrived thinking how wonderful it will be just to sit back, and bask in the Lords love. As I was walking to the entrance, a young man stopped me and said, "Sorry, no church tonight." HUH?...NO CHURCH?!?!? He must be off his rocker I thought. Or maybe he was from the government and they have stopped all church services on Wed. evenings.
Im sure I looked perplexed because he smiled and said, "Vacation Bible School." Well that made perfectly good sense....The CHILDREN had taken over the church!!!! I laughed, he laughed and invited me back. SO....on goes my journey to attned Love and Truth in Jackson....One day it will happen!!
Blessings Eddie and Sherri
and Phillip....
and Parrish....
etc....:happydance

They wouldn't let you help with refreshments? We live in a small town and I would go from church to church and help serve refreshments, because all churches had different schedules. They always appreciated the help. :)

Hadn't even thought of that. I feel old now.
Well, our town is very small and most of us aren't strange. I do understand though, and this was back when my kids were young.

Yes it is. But we have to protect the young and innocents as much as possible.
