What do you do all day after retiring?

Sunday is the day of our formal worship.  The interim pastor is away, so Sarah Symanski resumed her discipleship program.  She has composed the lessons on her own and has done a good job.  Some don’t appreciate her effort, and only about half of the people who were there last week came.  In our tradition many people think that the only one who communicates with God is the pastor.  This is both good and bad because some devout Christians (often women) get ignored.  I agree that women should not be head pastors, but many are quite knowledgeable and are overlooked.    A retired pastor led the worship and uniquely includes the congregation by having us read the words of institution for the Lord’s supper.  I collect the pages from many orders of worship to use in Texas during my services.  After church I fellowship with many people that I see only once each week.  The head trustee also wanted me to help with some adjusting of things in the building to meet the fire marshal's code.  Jim Junke was there and volunteered to do it all.  We left for home for lunch of tacos.  Our neighbor, Wanda, was in her house, so we took her some tacos for her lunch.  She usually stays with her sister in Leicester but has to come here every week or so to care for her lawn.  She loved the tacos.  We had 2 events scheduled for the afternoon.  We had volunteered to usher at the HART for a play, “Dearly Departed”, and an ice cream social with people of our small community.  I went to usher while Evelyn went to the social.  As I finished, I asked the theater director if we could come to see the play another night and he agreed.  I spent an hour ushering and an hour eating ice cream and visiting before coming home for a short rest.  We then left to go to the monthly band concert featuring living composers.  It rained hard off and on during the performance.  I guess I am too old to appreciate the style of the living composers.  Probably because I am too old and unfamiliar with the style.  We returned home for popcorn and a visit with the Beelis on the phone.  Evelyn wants to make them some clothes and had to get measurements.  She had talked with Stacy earlier in the day.  We will see her family next weekend.  I am still fighting the itching of the poison ivy I have and got a suggestion from our friend, Jo, who is a retired nurse.  She recommended a different medicine, and I will call our doctor, Lafata, tomorrow and ask for it or a shot.
