Our Saturday paper has a religion section with news of who's doing what where to help people serve God. So during breakfast, I try to keep up with the competition ~ oops, sorry ~ the other churches here in town. We are all on the same team. Well, mostly... I read one ad that peaked my curiosity. "Gathering of Goddesses" ~ it gave the time and location and instructed all who want to join in to bring a drum or percussion instrument of some sort.
And to think, I used to chuckle at the older ladies who wanted to sit up front on Sunday night and play their tambourines... I wonder if these gals have rules on make-up, dresses, pantsuits or earrings. I'll bet the Goddesses an interesting time together. But somehow, I don't think they'll be pulling out the book of James or looking into 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13 to hear about love the way we did when I was watching the tambourine ladies.
Sometimes I forget how much variety there is in our little town. The people in line next to us at the Big Box store may have an entirely different world view. Perhaps I should invite a few neighbors over for some oatmeal bread with jam and hot tea this afternoon. It seems like a good way to celebrate Valentine's Day.

I love oatmeal bread..and jam...AND tea. Sounds like you're having a delightful afternoon!
It's evening here, the skies are gloomy. We've had a good day, despite the weather. We're still celebrating our youngest son's birthday. He has friends over, so it's pizza and a great big chocolate chip birthday cookie at our house!
Have a great weekend...

Well, I went line dancing in the church fellowship last evening with the "ancients." I'm not kidding. We had a Valentine's banquet and their entertaining of us was the specialty of the night. They get together and practice 3 or 4 times a week. You should have seen them. No instruments, just their failing knees and hips. Too precious.
