Been going to the "new" (for me) church since the new year - and yeah, the people there -

will guesstimate about 20 for adult sunday school, and about another 100 for church.  Anyway, wasn't surprised, there's a new deacon (think the old one moved to florida, but don't know, anyway) and sure, when the preacher introduced him to the congregation, he mentioned the guy having just retired from 38 years as a ... NOPE, not a data entry clerk, or a delivery man.  He had the kind of job, where he traveled to a nearby well known city to attend important staff meetings and such.

Oh wait, before sunday school started, some women sitting behind me were doing the normal family/friends chit-chat...ya know, the nice house sitting on several acres.  But, have to again backtrack here.  Was last sunday, during the service.  The preacher was saying that most preachers don't like it when the weather turns nasty, and they have to cancel church...for obvious reason$.  Anyway, the preacher said we were a faithful group, because the offering was about twice as normal - so, that ice-covering-snow sunday was no big deal.

But here's the deal: check out the parking lot outside, and give some ear to the pre-service chit-chat going on inside.  By the way, when the service starts, the car/house/florida chats stop!

So, even if i was still driving that 98 rust bucket (took off the road, because it wouldn't pass inspection) wouldn't keep me from going to that King James only church.  Reason being:  the Lord doesn't frown on people because they work entry-level/menial jobs,  live in small, barely insulated houses and drive old/er vehicles.  

What the Lord thinks.., that's what matters.
