Well, yes, there were other things besides being battered about the cabin of various automobiles. I managed to get out of doing (much) laundry, and I managed to get out of cutting any grass, and we had supper with Reba's mom and dad Saturday night to celebrate his birthday, and then we went home and went to bed and then Sunday we went to church and I had a review of the stuff we'd covered all quarter in class by pitting one group of students against the other in a meaningless contest (which wouldn't have been quite so bad if Boy had not kept insisting that the contest was meaningless), then church, then lunch with the preteen group, then home, then read the newspaper, then ATTEMPTED to take a nap on the couch, made impossible by the continued ministrations of Catherine, who desperately wanted to twirl the baton she'd made out of typing paper and in doing so she kept hitting me with it and waking me up, then BACK to church for the evening service, then out to eat, which we haven't done in a long time, then home, then to bed.
Exciting stuff? Not this weekend. And that's just fine, let me tell you.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 27, 2005 04:03 PMHey, leave the Baptists out of this!
Posted by: Larry Anderson at June 27, 2005 04:06 PMWe had a Bible study last night instead of a regular worship service. It sure is even more obvious when you are ten minutes late to someone's home and there are only 5 other people there.
Posted by: Jordana at June 27, 2005 04:07 PMOh, ten minutes isn't so bad, Jordana--I'm sure no one thought a thing about it.
And Larry, you quit trying to stir up trouble!
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 27, 2005 04:15 PMOur congregation has a very active Sunday night youth ministry with a lot of kids from the neighborhood showing up. It doesn't include me as I have turned into a Scrooge and I really don't think most Baptists are heatherns although I do know a few who come real close.
Posted by: Larry Anderson at June 27, 2005 04:23 PMWait--are you the miserly Scrooge, or the goose-giving Scrooge?

Posted by: Larry Anderson at June 27, 2005 04:42 PMWell, yes--I suppose you could get in trouble for goosing the teenagers.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 27, 2005 04:50 PMHanging out with the teens was pretty good- back when I had 2 participating.
Now? Probably not so much...
