St Ninians

As I drove to Church at Lynham today my petrol gauge was on empty and I was scared. When I turned the corner to park I saw Theresa waiting outside the church for the last lot of people to come. I thought that was lovely. I've not seen a priest do that. She was already in position when I sat down and then she started the service and I had the feeling that this is where I am supposed to be when she started talking. Her service was up to the standard of the previous two.

She always says this little Psalm 19:14 "Let the words from my mouth and the meditations from my heart be acceptable to you" before she reads the Gospel. I'm not sure if that is her touch or what the Uniting Church always do.

There is so much in her service that I was thinking of asking her if I could record it. Ive never heard a leader of a service call out to some one in the back of the room and dialog with them about holidays. There's something about when some one calls out to you that you know they really want you at the moment - always melts me especially if its from someone I love. On her way out of the church she said thank you for the nice cards as she breezed past and I said there's more coming. There was no escaping this time because she waited until I came out of the Church and wanted me to come sign the visitors book and get involved with the Church. I said I don't do the book thing even with the Catholics except for the baptism and confirmation my name should not be written anywhere. So she said what about the choir? No luck there either. Laugh... anyway she said she will keep looking for the cards and she said of the cards she received this week mine was the nicest. Shes putting me under the pump now....
