Well, I told Cindi on the way home…

…I’m definitely getting too old for this. We had a WONDERFUL time with the saints of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Cullman, Alabama. And we are totally jealous of their outstanding school facility. I got to do a presentation on how the hymnic deposit passes on the faith, and then we celebrated a beautiful Divine Service (Choir under Pr. Clark’s expert direction! Brass! Tympani! Organ! Strings!), at which I was blessed to preach. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at the elder Bussman’s (Mark and Vicki) with Pr. John, Emily and the boys on Saturday evening. We stayed at a fabulous little “cabin” near to the church owned by congregational members. It was all awesome and all such a blessing. BUT…the DRIVE. Seven hours there on Saturday. Seven hours home right after service today (which had me doing some driving in the dark - something I find myself increasingly incapable of doing. What gives with that?). Anywho, I’m not agreeing to anything like it in the future. My excuse: I’m just too old.
