young grandpa
Chris and I did something we've never done before: we visited Grace Tibbs' preschool class this morning for "Grandparent's Day". Since her mom, Carmen, has been part of our ministry since 1984, and all her family still lives in Missouri, I guess it's only appropriate for us to serve as surrogate grandparents. (In fact, Miss Gracie is not the only CLCer who calls me, "Pastor Paw-Paw")
But I don't feel too old yet, especially because of what happened yesterday before the 11:15am service after I introduced myself to a first-time guest. She asked if I was the pastor here, and I explained that I was one of several. She then asked if I knew her father, who had attended the original church from which CLC was started, and proceeded to tell me that her family had attended here "when your dad was the pastor"! I didn't even try to correct her :-)
YESSSSS! That's another thing I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving season. How 'bout you - what are you thankful for?

What a treat for the Gracie girl that you & Grandma Chris joined her for Grandparent's Day. We are still talking about it this morning. She is asking if you are coming again to play today? I just put up a couple of cutie pics from yesterday at Gracefulldays.blogspot.com
Thanks for those loving deposits into her little heart. I'm not sure if it takes a village, but I was smiling inside yesterday~
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
