German worship

Sunday we arose and went to an ELCA Lutheran Church for Bible study and worship. The study was challenging as was the sermon. The parable of the five, two and one talents was the topic of each. We wonder what the Lord is calling us to do in the Valley this season. I really don’t want to bust out and try to make the church service to sing in the choir every Sunday. We would have to do that and neglect some possibilities at Trail’s End. We might be burying one of our talents. Jesus didn’t think much of that idea. It is easy to forget whose you are when retired and “enjoying” life. We left there and went to the Frieheim German restaurant. We shared a sauerbraten dinner including red cabbage, sour kraut, and spatazle, German noodles. We couldn’t eat all of the meal despite sharing it. We came back to the coach, changed clothes, hooked up and left for Kerrville. When we got there, it appeared less than active, and Evelyn has decided that I dislike going to the shops that we spent the day yesterday touring in Fredericksburg. As a result we kept going and arrived in Bandera, parking at a Good Sam RV park. It was a pleasant evening, and we walked the half mile down to the Guadalupe River. We called both girls and returned to the coach for dinner of the final leftover chicken breast and Mexican rice. We had planned to go into Bandera to see what might be an attraction. Instead, I asked a neighbor to come and help me try to get the cable TV working. We worked a while and got it to work. Neither of us can explain what we did to fix it. It was a bit too late to go to town (people said there would be little doing on Sunday evening) so we decided to the laundry because the park here has a lovely Laundromat. We watched Desperate Housewives, switching back and forth to Memphis Bell, one of my favorite WWII movies. After the laundry we came back to watch Grey’s Anatomy and the news. We will have to arise early in the morning and go into town so we will know whether we want to stay another night here. We also need to find a San Antonio telephone book so we can call to find out whether we can come to volunteer this next week. If not, we will go through Shiner, Texas on our way to the Valley. Shiner is where Shiner beers are brewed. We hope to tour the brewery.
