This morning we had our regular Saturday morning prayer meeting. We had a good turnout today. But what I noticed was how even though all three of our pastors were present, not one of them shook my hand and greeted me. Our pastors here just do not do that. I don't go around and greet everyone either. But I'm not the pastor here.
We got together for lunch this week. Six of us retired guys got together. Not everyone who was invited came. But we had a good time anyway. We always get into deep theological discussions. We rarely talk about the weather or anything else. I tried to talk about health issues and that worked for a while. I wonder if there is a genuine interest, or if they feel like we are supposed to only talk about spiritual things.
Some guys were at church this morning cutting the grass and cleaning up the grounds. They recently repainted some of the stripes in the parking lot. I thought that conference was not until in the fall. I wonder why all of a sudden we are sprucing up the place.
Make new friends, and keep the old. I am grateful for friends near and far away.
