Today was a pretty good day. Michael and the kids went to church with me this morning. It felt so good to have my family there with me. The service was a good one and the sermon was really good. It just felt right for all of us to be there together.
We went to his church, too. The regular preacher wasn't there. They had a man from High Hill Christian Camp. Supposedly he was there to talk about camp. Instead he delivered a sermon that was over 40 minutes long... after we'd already been there singing hymns and doing worship stuff for 40 minutes. The kids did not go down to junior church, either. So, my kids sat through what pretty much amounted to 2 1/2 church services this morning. Caleb got restless the last 20 - 25 minutes but considering he's a 7 year old boy, I think he did a great job. Heck, I was getting really restless, too.
This man that came to speak was REALLY BORING. He'd sound like he was starting to wind things down and then all of a sudden start in on something else. I really think there are preachers out there that need to take a class on the way people learn. To stand up and preach/talk/lecture for 40 minutes is not an effective way to get your point across.
After church we were supposed to go to Red Lobster with Michael's parents and Jeremy's family, but it was way too packed. That is not a surprise since we didn't get out of church until after 12:00. So, we ended up at Locos. I had a french dip sandwich and then had a wonderfully sinful chocolate vesuvius desert.
This afternoon we went over to my mom's house and gave her her gift. We sat and talked for a while. It was a nice visit.
Tonight we had Lyon's frozen custard. Lyon's always has free strawberry shortcake on Mother's Day. It's always such a madhouse there, but we enjoyed our ice cream just the same.
