We had a great day of fellowship
yesterday. After worship we headed over
to McAlister’s Deli for lunch. Before we
even made it inside, some old friends (and old Seasiders) saw us in the parking
lot. Paul is now a pastor in Galveston
and doing really well. Carolyn looked
great as usual, and Chloe has been serving as the youth pastor at their
church. Once we got inside we hooked up
with Bryan and Jennifer and Sam (more Seasiders). Now McAlister’s had a giant advertising board
set up right in the walk way. It was a
human-sized glass of their famous sweet tea. Jennifer is in a wheelchair, so I had to be
the genteel gentleman and move the sign.
As I lifted the cardboard hulk to move it aside, I realized that there
was a hole in it. Just the right size
for someone’s head. Well, for my
head. So I obliged Madison Avenue and did
what every single person who had walked through the Deli since that sign was posted
wanted desperately to do, I stuck my
head in it as I waited for Jennifer to pass by.
There I was, the new poster head for McAlister’s sweet tea. So of course the obligatory FaceBook post
began. The caption Bryan added was
short. Something about Mr. T(ea). Cute, huh?
We had a small but hearty crown last night
to hang the greens at church. For us
that meant grabbing a slice of pizza (thank you Dayna) and joining Kiara,
Lauren and Cathy in decorating the tree and hanging the lights and garland
around the room. Oh, and there was also
pecan pie and cookies to assuage anyone’s sweet tooth. Everything looks festive and Christmassy
again, so come by and check it out.
James 5:9 says, “Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge
is standing at the door!”
Father, thank you for good times with
friends. To eat. To work.
To be together. Amen.
