August 21, 2002
Today was filled with highlights. Worship in the park with Bemus Point Methodists joining us, chicken BBQ following, baptisms at our creek, a quiet afternoon reading, the delivery of a quarter cow from pastor Joe, giving some of it to our kids, and Linda joining Amanda Myles up on a lift where Amanda is finishing her family’s tribute to the 911 victims on one of her father’s silos. Except for a few rides in an airplane, It’s the only time in her life that Linda has been “high.”
A friend at worship said it well: “This is the best of small-town America.” I have to agree, and am grateful tonight to be a part of it. There is a lot of terrible things happening in our country right now, but this isn’t one of them.
