ice cream and eternity

We had a pretty uneventful weekend. There was a group here but they were self-catered so we just stayed out of their way. Sunday we went back to the Presbyterian church here in Annalong for their "harvest service." They had a guest minister from another town preaching and he mentioned that he had driven by Maude's Ice Cream Shop on the way down and was saddened to see it packed out with people who didn't care about "the Lord or eternal things." Pretty stiff judgment to make, eh? So I think Ange and I may catch the early bus over to Maude's next Sunday.

This week, however, will probably not be uneventful at all. Youth For Christ is doing training here all week, so we'll be working pretty hard. They seem really cool and we're excited to get to meet them.

We're missing you guys pretty badly these days. Not so much culture shock as people-we-love shock. How about you all just move over here? The chocolate is better...

Survey of the day: What flavor of ice cream do you think Jesus would order on a Sunday morning at Maude's?

I had strawberry ice cream in a chocolate dipped cone yesterday, and it was deee-lish. Huh, that almost looks like the word "devilish". And it kinda was. So, I don't think Jesus would have had that kind. Hmm, one flavor down, 30 to go...

My favorite flavor is Jamocia
Almond Fudge, found at 31 Flavors here in Muncie, Indiana Everyone has to love this one, even Jesus.

You all crack me up! I love that this preacher tells you from the pulpit where all the lost sinners are and you and Ange are all "well, we know where we're going next Sunday morning!" Very great.

It's fun to laugh with you despite the distance. Your story about the lock-in was hilarious. I'm sure John Duncan got to see some of your great qualities like humility... and I'm sure you made it easy for him to be forgiving. (remembering the call from Micah Maxwell, and laughing)
