my son

Today we were supposed to fall back - at least our clocks were. We were to set our clocks back an hour which means we had an extra hour to sleep in but noooooo. I couldn't sleep in and woke up at my usual time. It was still nice to have to lay back and relax instead of getting up and running around. I had to force myself to lay back and enjoy the extra time with no place that I had to be. I didn't have the boys with me this weekend.

The boys did go to church with me though. I went and picked them up and they were excited to be going to the 'big church' which meant they were able to go to Sunday school. The boys are such characters. During children's church I'm always worried by what they are going to say and do. They kept the crowd entertained that much was certain! Afterwards they went over to Sunday school and I was able to relax and enjoy the service.

Today was All Saints Day and I got to see people who had been members for over 60 years. Dr. Hill went through the decades: 60 year members, 50 year members, 40 year members all the way to 25 year members of Community Christian Church. I was sad to realize that I won't have that large of a number of years. If I'm lucky I can make the 25 year. :)

Dr. Hill's service made me think of my son, Michael. Dr. Hill spoke of a man who had an infectious spirit about him. He was someone that people loved to be around. He was full of wisdom and kindness and he was articulate and full of joy. I know some of you are thinking that this isn't Michael but you would be wrong. He is just that person. He's just hiding.

Mary and I were talking the other day. I believe it was after we watched the movie Courageous. I believe Michael will have a powerful ministry. What he has been through with his life will be a powerful witness - when he realizes who he really is and what he is here for.
