Well, believe it or not, I might not have to
spend the entire day Saturday ringing a bell at Walmart. Two rlp readers are driving in
from Austin, and another from the other side of San Antonio. One person is
actually considering flying to San Antonio, ringing a bell outside of Wal-Mart
on Saturday, and then going to our church the next morning. Will wonders never
cease. Whatever happens, I'll take pictures and have some stories to tell.
I think if I get one more person for this
Saturday, I can cover both doors from 10am to 6pm. I'll probably be ringing for
four to six hours, but I've had worse Saturdays.
I mentioned that my wife
Jeanene had been making necklaces and prayer beads in the
Anglican style and had listed a few for
sale at
her website. Six of them sold in a couple
of days, which was a nice surprise. She's put six new ones online. Who knows
where this is going. To be honest, none of us knows where life is leading us.
One day you're doing one thing and the next thing you know you're selling beads.
Go figure.
This guy
is an Episcopal priest here in San Antonio and has become a pretty good friend
since I met him in a coffee shop. He gave me a fountain pen, which I
wrote about once for Christian Century.
We watched the Cowboys beat the Colts together
this weekend, which was wonderful. And we have an idea for the coolest
lectionary study group EVER. Stay tuned for
more on this later.
