Our Weird Friends

Well, our bible study had a BBQ last night to celebrate the coming of summer. It hasn’t rained here in two months but, guess what? It rained. Despite the precipitation, several of the guys, who are addicted to their Play Stations, got a projector and projected their soccer video game on the entire back side of Walt and Emily’s house. They sat in the rain and played their game while the rest of us sat on the covered back porch and talked about a wide variety of topics, including the merits of pomegranates. Yes, pomegranates. Many of the young adults in our study recalled their memorable childhood experiences eating this tart fruit out on their front lawns, wearing old clothes, to avoid staining their good clothes, carpet and furniture. Todd said he always ate the seeds. Several other people reacted harshly: "YOU ATE THE SEEDS? No way!!" After about twenty minutes of this conversation, someone commented on how amazed they were that anyone could talk about a piece of fruit for such an extensive amount of time. Leave it to our friends at bible study!

Oh! . . . and . . .

May you have a memorable Memorial Day. Enjoy your three-day weekend!
