Janie and I returned Sunday from a week of vacation. We spent the weeks in the Smokey Mountains. For some reason, this is an area we have seldom visited on vacation. Last year was our first vacation trip to the mountains. I can see why people love going. The goal of our vacation was really kind of simple…enjoy nature and visit as many waterfalls as we could fit into the week. The following statement can kind of be said to “The 12 days of Christmas” tune. “On our 7 day vacation, this is what we’d see: 7 deer a prancing, 6 llama’s packing (apparently they use llama’s to haul supplies in the mountains), 5 Blackwood’s singing (the Gospel breakfast show), 4 waterfalls gushing, 3 wild turkeys strutting, 2 black bears climbing and a brown snake waiting for Janie! We hiked and walked 70 miles for the week. A good time listening to birds and streams. My appreciation to all who helped cover the bases in our absence.
Coming back to a blessing.
If all goes well, by the time you read this copy, I will be waiting in line to hold our 6th grandchild, Micah Thomas Brown. Bryon and Gail are scheduled to deliver on Tuesday, May 14. Can’t wait to see the little guy.
Last minute reminder
I think there are still tickets available for this Saturday’s show “If These Walls Could Talk”. The spring banquet is always a great meal with lots of fun. The Activities Team does a great job on all fronts. If you still need tickets, check with the office at 762-0244 or call Felecia Hebert or Janie Brown. They will be glad to help you if they can.
See you, good Lord willing, this Sunday!
Pastor Tom
