Sunday renewals

Sunday was another beautiful day. We went to Bible class and wasted the full time discussing what we should choose as a topic for the next period of time. I was prepared to discuss a short bit and then begin the video study. Instead we discussed and discussed. I had only prepared the lesson to help Phil, the previous leader, by giving him some relief. As it turned out, I don’t think he wanted relief. At any rate, we decided to begin the study next week even though we won’t be there. They will watch half of the video and the other half the week we return. We worshipped and enjoyed the means of Grace, Holy Communion. We came home for lunch, and I rushed to Maggie Valley to get some gasoline at 3.09 per gallon. The station offering that price was out of gas. I should have known that. I hurried to another station and paid 3.29. I rushed home, picked up Evelyn, and went to the church. We met the Edwards’ and followed them to the Marriage Encounter site in Montreat. We met the couple we were praying for and talked with them and another couple from our church who had attended the weekend. The couple was from Raleigh so we came home alone, stopping to buy some wine that was on special at the Food Lion. I was surprised that the sale of alcohol was permitted on Sunday. We bought six bottles and brought them home. We decided to go to the lake to walk. It was dusk, and I swallowed a bug and got sick. The blessing was that I spit it up relatively quickly. We went on and went to the Terrace Motel to get on the WWW. After an hour we came home and had popcorn. I had one of the small bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon. My taste must be deteriorating. I used to hate that stuff but liked it this time. E wrote a letter and I watched a football game and “24”. We have a big day tomorrow because we have to work at the Open Door.
PS. I forgot to mention that the prayer couple told us that we could find gasoline for $2.95 between Black Mountain and Swananoa and we did! We hope we find more on our way to Indiana this week.
