I remember when...

[Sweet Pea]

I remember little "church" banks with the steeple.

I remember bringing a penny for every year of your age on the Sunday nearest your birthday. And marching to the front while the congregation sang: A happy birthday to you - a happy birthday to you - may you feel Jesus near every day of the year. A happy birthday to you - a happy birthday to you and the best year you've ever had."

I remember the 30 pieces of silver cardboard offering holders that you turned in on Easter Sunday.

I remember Mother Haney's Tuesday morning Ladies Prayer group.

I remember Grandma Nonie.

I remember getting towels in laundry detergent

I remember getting glass dishes in the oatmeal box.

I remember when the prize in cracker jacks was really something exciting.

I remember Double Spring Cemetery and the history it holds for the church in Stockton.

I remember Monkeyman's dad singing "My God is Real"

and Raven, I remember Deliah tempting Sansom into revealing just enough....
