So what’s
made you smile this week? Yesterday
evening I was headed next door to greet my new neighbors with a warm loaf of zucchini
bread from Duke Boy, and shazamm---a
double rainbow. I suspect it was due to
a dear friend who went to heaven on Friday night. I’m pretty sure it was his doing. He was probably put in charge of the rainbow
section because that rainbow was just the type of over-the-top extravaganza
that he would pull. His memorial service is Sunday and I’m deciding if I need
to take my tambourine for the anthem. It’s
going to be a volunteer choir singing of “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder”.
Mr. Larry is the reason that I once carried it to church regularly. His vision and that of several others of the
Lanett UMC to have a contemporary worship service started my tambourine career.
I loved sharing a mic with Ms. Margaret,
his bride, all the while singing Christian lyrics to old Beatle tunes. My job was as a do wop girl with a funky
beat. I know I drove the musicians
crazy, notice I never claimed to be a musician.
Other than the CD player that’s the only musical instrument I know how
to play. I’m pretty sure that Jesus was
happy to see Larry since that meant he could turn “parable telling” over to new
guy, he’s also glad that Larry’s there to lead the Bama cheering squad since
the Auburn folks were hassling him all last season to help them out. Take some
time this week to send up a prayer for his earthly family and friends who miss
the ole turkey hunter.

What made
you smile? Did you see the camel on TV
for hump day? Very cute. What about
hummingbirds? My yard is all a buzz with them.
How do you not smile at one of them?
Double N at my backdoor every morning helping with blueberry picking
makes me grin. I do have him trained almost or maybe he has me trained to let
him get down the steps first so I don’t have give Dr. Martin a visit before
beginning my work day. Did I mention fresh
blueberries on my cereal? If I could just teach Double N to pick them. Hmm?
Wait for that one on YouTube. Cutting hydrangeas for my Sunday lunch
table reminds me of my Grandmother.
Smile. Seeing a little girl bring
a doll to church today. Not a video
game. Hurrah. Lunch with the Hedgie
folks. Upcoming graduations for both of them—double grins.
My favorite grads
Remember you
have the opportunity to bring smiles to folks in this community who need some
help to make counseling more affordable. Buy a ticket and attend the annual
fundraiser for the Pastoral Institute on Tuesday, August 27 at noon at the West
Point United Methodist Church. We might
even stand on our feet to get you to laugh—notice I didn’t say heads. It’s not
too late to get a table for a group. It’s also never too late to donate if you
can’t attend. Guaranteed smile from me.
